Which one? The GMT group in Manchester which used a high track voltage (110v I think) to heat electic elements in model live steam locos, or the 1:1 Swiss? example of a steam loco which had a pantograph on its cab roof and drew power from the overhead? Sam E :-) Landon Solomon wrote: > > Say, y

Say, you know there was that place where they put electric heaters in the boiler to make the steam... =D J/K... How are you guys hooking the 12V up to the track? One lead to each rail, or one lead to ground with the other to both rails? I suspect it's the latter... Trot, the electrically-m

Gentleman Arthur, Is there any other way to test a 9v battery other than with the tip of yer tongue? I learn something every day! I do have an electric wire around the pond which works but your idea of voltage on the track is excellent! Geoff Gentlemen, > >All you high class engineers can't

Gentlemen, All you high class engineers can't see the trees because of the forest. Rodents? I got rid of rodents, a coral snake, 3 toads, one cat, a possum, and a peeing dog. Those were the only ones that I had time to see. How you do it? Easy. Just connect a 12VAC 1 amp transformer to t
