    They will supply you with the appropriate plug for your country. These actually run on batteries, so the adapter is not needed.
    That being said, battery powered is better as it doesn't mess with the TV reception and no cord to trip over. These only require 3 AA or AAA batteries depending on the controller.

    I had plans for one to power a G scale flat car, but that may never happen. They don't like to be moved when running.

    In other useless news, men who make 50k a year or less are not ready to date. They can't afford it. According to daytime talk TV.
    So why are all these single moms banging dudes and getting knocked up with no paycheck?
    Must be women's intuition. :rofl:

    Surprisingly, the smaller stuff is better built and easier to work on. I had no idea. Marklin Z is pretty much all metal and uses screws for assembly.
    This will be my first experience with T, never had one in my hand before. The used market is almost non-existent. So they either last or get swallowed/trashed. :notsure:

    That new controller, when tested, was putting out 12.5dc at all throttle settings :eek:
    Didn't bother to put a train on it. Don't want to fry one.
    10vdc is supposed to be max.
    Promptly requested a replacement, no problem. Boxed it back up, sometimes quality control lets one slip by, it's made in Japan, so I expected it to be of good quality, let's try again.
    Googled the thing to see if this or any other problems were relevant.

    Turns out, it's supposed to be that way. I'm not the only neanderthal that noticed it.
    Has a thing called CL, or Constant Lighting.
    With LED's, it turns the lights on without having to run the engine.
    Unboxed it again, and sure as shit, with an engine on it, the voltage immediately drops to 1.5v, and the headlight turns on. Then it works as it should. Cool as shit.:rofl:
    Now to contact Amazon and cancel the return.

    I'll bet the instructions explain this, but my Japanese is a little rusty and that's all it came with.

    Our house isn’t moving and it is starting to get me down. The market is good overall but nobody wants our house yet.

    Ive been buying stuff off Amazon in other countries (Amazon.jp, amazon.de, etc)

    Sometimes it ends up being cheaper.

    You gotta take new pictures and then add the new ones. If you just let it sit on the market with the same pictures it wont do you any favors. Gotta switch up the pics & get rid of ALL the ones you have. This is actually the best time to find this out because you will be 1 step ahead of everybody else come April/May. You found out those photos don't really work and its time for new ones.

    Basic Photo Tips from Youtube Search. This will work and someone will buy it! GL!

    We’re using the photos taken by our realtor’s contractor. The outside would be better if it was Spring but the inside won’t change. The location is what we think is hurting us the most. I’ll PM a link to our listing.
