I have an illuminated Faller Ferris Wheel on my layout. There are 36 individual bulbs. The bulbs operate at 16v AC at 30ma each. I would like to find a way of reducing their brightness. Is it possible to get a dimmer control that will operate at this low voltage or can anyone advise on an inexpensive alternative solution? Thanks

I recently fitted a Hornby Uncoupler Unit (R8244) which I operate using a Surface Mounted Point Motor (R8243). The unit works fine except two recently purchased Hornby locos won't pass over the unit - the base of the Class 31 diesel loco is too low and hits the unit and won't go any further; the A4 'Herring Gull' loco will go over the unit but only beacuse the front bogie wheels are lifted up as they pass over. I have checked that the unit is correctly fitted and ensured that it is in the lowered position before running the locos across! I assumed that Hornby check that all locos will operate ok with this unit, especially models very recently released. Can anyone recommend an alternative to the Hornby unit? Many thanks
