You can buy the code books here :- **LINK**

They add 20% VAT to the price when you checkout! So its £180 .. Sneaky!!

The controller will drive multiple motors as long as you don't exceed the current rating (As stated in previous posts). Maxitrak drive multiple motors from 4QD controllers .... The manual only shows 1 motor for simplicity.

Here is the wiring for a 2-Bogie loco (Each with 2 motors) - So 4 motors in Parallel

Please ensure that you wire the motors so they all rotate in the same direction. (You may need 1 running forward and 1 running in Reverse on each bogie if 1 drives on the left and 1 on the right!)

Take a look at the 4QD site ...

This shows 4 Motor wiring in regards to supression - Link

and comparing Serial/Parallel - Link

Ride-on-Railways put all 4 motors in parallel [As 2 pairs .. so 4 wires to controller]

Why don't you get a non-isp specific email address i.e. gmail, hotmail etc and use that for the forums etc, then you can change your isp as many times as you like without having to register a new address everytime.

Hi,

I would contact the sender of the parcel, they should have the tracking number. If you have not received the goods the seller needs to contact Evri as the contract is between the seller and Evri.

A lot of rural area's do not have street names let alone house numbers. (These have NEVER been given a number)

DPD have our "What3Words" (Along with Map Position and Detailed Directions) for our rural address, but they still repeatly fail to get to us!

(We just have a House Name (No Number or Street Name)

If you purchase from eBay (or Amazon UK) now and it is shipped from the EU or China/India VAT is included (Added when you check out) ... You can see the VAT if you look at the invoice.

Also India/China seen to declare a low price i.e. <10$ so it comes under the threshold for VAT/Duty.

I have always had to pay VAT/Duty for items from USA/Canada when it is over the limit. (Excluding Books)

Dave

The point Dave is making is that the goods were sent with NO WARNING LABEL on the parcel indicating their contents.

I have received hazardous substances in the past and they had a Hazardous warning label indicating the contents. Some carriers will carry these goods for a increased cost. (Others won't)

Dave

I have the same problem with some banks/companies…..

Our postal address according to Royal Mail is - House Name, Village, Town, Post Code. (Which is correct)

So I enter the House name as the House Name, then under Street I enter the Village name, then under Town/City the Town name ….. This usually works where you have to enter a Street

Dave

Thumbs up for the Royal Mail as well!!

If you think you have a leak, then you should call British Gas and explain, I'm sure they have to equipment to trace a leak.

Does your boiler or fire have a pilot light which is on all the time regardless of the timer settings?

Think that might be 80ma - 9.0W @ 230V/50Hz

Dave,

Where about in the world are you located? (Could be delivery issues if international)

Dave

If that is a Camping Gaz Cool box, I got a spare 12v one from Amazon.

Not Cheap!!!!

Hi,

Quick question --- When will you be able to pay by DD for Digital only subscriuption? (Currently Credit Card Only)

Dave

Another 2 points, the organiser/administrator should not be allowed to bid, and what happens if you get 2 bids the same?

Dave

At the moment you can only pay for the “Digital” or “Print & Digital” subscriptions with a Credit/Debit card or Paypal, are there any plans to add the same Direct Debit options that the “Print” subscription has?
