Looks good but cant seem to find a price at the moment.

Wow, neat product! That nicely removed the need for track power and the associated problems of reduced power for locos and the fact that the lights turn off whenever the train stopped!

One of our members Mike Fifer sells these on his site

I am sure if you wrote to Mike giving him the inside dimensions of the HST cab he would let you know

Yes but the postage quote for six to the UK is:

USPS Priority Mail International -- $41.55; USPS Express Mail International -- $49.10

Usual inflated US postage costs I'm afraid. It's actually somewhat cheaper to send them to New Zealand Brian

Crikey and heres me thinking Easy Peasy was a Linux operating system designed for Notebook Computers, shows how much I know 

[Sprintex]

Good idea, but could get very expensive in batteries, even if you buy the job-lot ones from Poundland! 

Then you also have to dismantle your coaches every time to change them as well. Track power is still the better option I reckon

Can we not look at getting an order together guys and get one of our stateside members to look at the costs of shipping locally and then forwarding to us. N Scale supply also do them ($7.99) but have a minimum order costs of $50 for international plus $44 for the fist lb weight then $4 a lb after.

There must be a way of doing it.

Nice looking system but at £14.80 per coach it is a bit on the pricey side
