ERRRMMM...

Toad -what makes you think that ENGLISH is my native language?

Drar enegis anthar voor mid ed geenderlish nie en ag elsenig en frigaan zur sif elderna(!)

I have German forenames and and surname and my father was born in Leipzig -he married French Canadian nurse, I was born in the Crown Colony of Southern Rhodesia.

English was something I learned at school... International Standard English is something I use in my day-to-day work. I work for a swiss company and all the documentation has to be in German in block capital letters. No -the sentence above is not German -it is Afrikaans...

regards

Funny thing Ralph is this international forum from the U.S. (United States) is both English and Spanish or as I call it mixed English and mixed Spanish. Big Smile [:D]

I would like to see the Internatioal Standard English guild?! Big Smile [:D]

7.2 volts will be sufficient for small critters and locos, things like an Eggliner, maybe Bachmann's railtruck, and some yard switchers where speed isn't a priority. If you have room for 8.4 or 9.6 volt packs, that will give you just a little extra headroom.

Later,

In series two 7.2 Volt battery packs will give you 14.4 Volt -which is normally sufficient. Do not put NiMH or NiCd battery packs in parallel as this can cause premature discharge.

On a point of information.... Please try to use International Standard English as this is an international forum and local sang and abbreviations can cause vast confusion and leave some artichokes loaf of bread in a right 2+8(!)
