Yet Another impressive track

Hello Gentlemen

Like Phil i have too much time on my hands and found these tracks on the internet.Before you all chases me with pitch forks and torches, because there racing HO scale, you got to admit they are impressive. The steel track is very Grand Designs i thought. Anyone got any idea's how it was made or works ?

Roll on Thursday.

Pro 3 Controller

Last time I was down the club, some of you will have seen my Pro 3 Controller where the wiper had worn through the circuit board.

I managed to get hold of some contact details for the chap that manufactured these in the Czech Republic who was happy to repair it for me so I duly packaged it up and sent it off.

I've just had an email back advising me that my Pro 3 is not genuine ( that probably explains why the wiper wasn't a carbon brush ), furthermore the fake mounts the resistor blocks differently so even if the circuit board is replaced it probably won't work with my resistors.

Feeling a bit hacked off !!

Anyway the key message here is Buyer Beware. This was bought from one of the leading suppliers ( I'll try and work out which one it was ) and to be honest I'm a bit surprised to say the least.

(Should also mention that this was bought in 2004 and not recently)
