A daily updated blog typed by someone with painty hands, oil under his fingernails and the smell of solder in his nostrils who likes making all sort of models and miniatures. And fixing things.
We in our club had these back in 1985 and they were a bone of contention never really worked faultlessly and as you said dry joints were readily found inside.
Our club now uses Gaugemaster panel mounted DC controllers with inertia option built in for our main lines and ordinary panel mounted controllers for Goods Yards and Motive Power areas. No problem with them at all and a lifetime warranty into the bargain.

Phil,
ReplyDeleteWere you aware that Finney & Smith are in the process of closing down ?

No I didn't but I've now e-mailed Dave who confirms this is true. He'll still be producing the 3D printed models through.

Gaugemaster controllers are the way to go. I've had both of my handhelds repaired for free in the past. Excellent service.
