Radio Shack Block?
Posted by New Haven I-5 on Sunday, December 28, 2008 3:42 PM

 A while ago I heard that Radio Shack has a blocking device that would work for switching power between DC & DCC. I can not remember the name, so could someone tell me the name of it?

Does Radio Shack make one for wives that tell you that you spend too much money on model railroading?...lol

Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.

Sure.  They've got these noise-cancelling headphones:

Did it ever occur to you to let her share your hobby?
