| Yes they work fine Ray even with the dog's bottom. Good to see a new and different layout. What are the locomotives, stock and track? I've not seen these about before. | |

| Both locos and all rolling stock I built myself. Even turned all the wheels on the 440 with an ancient lathe. The power units are windscreen-wiper motors scrounged from my local car- breakers geared down to the 'drivers' using cogwheels from discarded photocopiers and any other bits of machinery such as printers etc. As you've guessed by now I don't like spending money, so everything I've built is from scrap except the wheel-sets and of course the plastic sleepers from 'Tenmille' I actually discovered all the track in bundles at a bootfair hidden under a table back in the U.K. Cost me three Quid for the lot. | |

| Having seen a loco "in the flesh" last Wednesday, I can vouch for the quality that Ray has achieved. It was just a shame that at 12volts we couldn't really risk it on my 18v DCC track | |

You might have mentioned it? But I can't remember..... Then again I might not have. | |
