As Puddles suggested, thin ply (2mm) is a much better bet for supporting the plastic sheets. If necessary you can wet the ply and bend it to shape first - the ply will keep the bend as it dries. Same applies to the plasticard as that can be shaped with some gentle heat before ‘setting’ with cold wat...

As Brian said, Seeps need to be fitted 'just so' or the switches can be temperamental. That is why I stopped using them for frog polarity switching. But using them to switch LEDs on and off is perfectly good - after all, if the switch doesn't make contact all that happens is that the light doesn't c...

Do you qualify for a free one Barry? We still have to fork out for ours. I do Steve, but I was never sure why? I think I've been having this jab since I was sixty. I recall a standard letter just turning up from the GP practice - you know the type - if your surname begins with A-C turn-up on Wednes...

Mankini?

Asking for a friend.

Ours are booked for a couple of weeks time (earliest slot available at Boots). I don’t anticipate any issues either.

Barry, you are far too bl@@dy tidy!
As for the question - horses and a traditional travellers caravan would look good in that space.

Barry, the jaws are shaped to create the curve needed on the pins.

If you have access to a plunge router with this type of bit it would be very easy to make a quide in a piece of 12mm ply. Cut a hole the right size in the ply first then screw the ply to the baseboard while making repeatable cuts with the router. Unscrew the template and reposition for the next hole.

Personally, I think the days of cutting a big hole in the baseboard for a motor ave gone. Peco have introduced an under board motor that clips into two lugs screwed under the board using a template. I fitted my points with Seep motors and just drilled a 1/2" hole in the board for the pin but you can...

Hi Barry, I would go for a higher output, say 8a, and fit a 1 amp self resetting fuse to each output from an 8 way splitter. That will give you multiple (spare) and safe circuits. But if you only need it for powering LEDs then 3A is more than adequate surely? I have all my LED colour-light signals ...
