The motor is priced at $12 on this site (same pictures) which ain't so bad. I reckon it's a bit chunky for H0 and in any case they've described it as 0 gauge. I wonder if it's either decimal point trouble-or- they've bumped it up on ebay to recover ebay fees😉 Regards Rich Edited April 21, 2023 by TinTracks 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal view is that you're ''dead'' right . The vendor should have posted some kind of prominent health warning for this lot. However I've seen these go for £80 or so, each, on Lucifer's Toybox. Granted the ones I saw go for that money were ''nicer'' with box, paperwork, connector tabs etc. In our local club there's a heritage style Dublo 3 rail 8x4 layout. I take my 3 rail conversions up there for a sprint as I'm just in the planning stage for a layout. The owner /builders use these controllers, albeit rewired to modern standards. Personally, although I'm an old HD 3 railer I'll stick to my Gaugemaster controllers! Ramble over, Regards, Rich 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racket Railways again! Looks like it's been on a shelf in a grubby house a long time. A quick scrub with an old toothbrush and warm soapy water would make a world of difference.
