Click on "Products".

Then click on the descriptive line below the picture you are interested in.

Several of the pages you will be taken to will have prices somewhere on
the page, mostly towards the bottom.

And yes, they are expensive, mostly with a base of $700 and with options
could be as much as $925.

ROTFLMAO " "

Gene,

If you are spiking into foam, the spikes simply will not hold.
If laying track (ties) directly on foam, you must glue for stabilty's sake.

Dick

Tom,

Use your own nickle and call 215-533-1600, then ask for Bridgit or service.

This one will work every time during business hours.

Gene,

Were the wires apparently individually shrink wrapped at the point of
joining?
If so, was there possibly a ring of solder inside the shrink wrap?

Many computer manufacturers in the past have joined wires between
connecters using what are called solder sleeves. These are made by
molding shrink wrap material over small ring of low temp solder. The wires
are inserted into the sleeve and then hot air (sufficient to melt the solder)
is passed over the shrink wrap, shrinking the wrap as well as melting the
solder.
I've made quite a number of these connections myself during field repairs.

If the two questions above can be answered yes, then your wires were
simply missed in production, somehow, and it becomes a quality control
issue.

Trains,

I lived in Livermore for 20 years before retirement, and drove thru Niles Canyon several times. Really fine scenery and some of the railroad
bridges, etc, were more than interesting.
I never had the pleasure of riding the Niles Canyon Railway, nor was I lucky
enough to see the engine in your picture.

Where was the picture taken? I don't recognize the location.

Dick

Jim,

Your latest post may just be the shortest post I have seen for quite some
time which actually explains your subject pretty much correctly.
The really complete explanations have been known to require a couple of hundred pages and a course at an educational institution.
Notice I did not state "college". College, university, trade school, high school, military, are all appropriate.

Thanks for doing it well,

Dick

Stewart,

Why do you take it out on me, when Jim Banner has also previously told you that Amps drive up the heating effect to blow the wiring with:-


Take what out on you?

I merely stated what I have learned in over 50 years of electricity,
electronics, and computers.

If you think that is picking on you, so be it.

Dick

Scot,

Thanks,

I missed the importance of the .htm, .html tags.

Dick

Stewart,

quote
Appliances in the US are sold by Amperage, which is the heating effect.

Not entirely true.

Many appliances with motors, example vacuum cleaners, are described
using amperage as a (supposedly power) comparison for marketing
purposes. Amperage does not in any way describe heating effect.

Many other appliances, example microwaves, are sold using wattage as
the unit of power. Wattage does not describe the amount of work a
unit will do, only the amount of power the unit can use if operating
properly.

Also, amperage is a measure of the amount of current, not heat.
Wattage is a measure of the amount of power used, not the amount of
work performed.

Dick

Hmmmm....

That didn't work, either.
Do you have some other instructions in the line, such as [*url][*/url],
without the asterisks, of course?

Dick

John,

You need to remove the asterisks.

My 36" wide-screen TV in the living room is just great IF the program is
wide-screen, which is normally one of the DVD's we own, and not from
commercial broadcasting.

As for my PC, no-no-no.

I have a 19" 4:3 aspect screen. I don't want a wide-screen.
Whereas 4:3 screen measurements are corner to diagonal corner, the
wide screen measurement is side to side.
The widescreen is just that, widescreen, and although 16:9 aspect
should be the same, the wide screen sure looks shorter to me.
The text is therefore also shorter.
I like the larger text, and I NEVER play TV movies on the PC.
That's why I paid a fortune for the plasma gimmick in the front room.
