Hi everyone,

Has anybody had any experience with this manufacturer, please? They produce rolling roads and other stuff relating to holding locomotives, including securing the loco to the frame so you can look underneath whilst it's 'running'.

They're much cheaper than M*'s version, and are available in eBay.

Any advice would be appreciated.

TVM,

Pete

Hello,

I got the long version with speed cat and paid 250 Euros. So it is not really cheap, despite it is looking as very cheap crap.

My suggestion: save your money and buy something better. KPF Zeller may have the lowest price, but you will get the lowest quality. I never saw such a poor material quality and I'm asking myself, how the black forrest industry (known as a high quality and precision industry)could produce such a low level product.

an example: each rolling axle looks different. The plastic parts have a not really rectangular shape, everyone different from the other, the friction bearings have that "high" quality that after a short period of time I could observe small chip formation under it. You cannot fix the axles, so sometime at high speed the loco is "shooting" them away with high risk the loco falling to ground.

For the speed cat if you want I can show some pictures of this masterpiece soldered printed circuit board. Every RR modeler can solder better.
