Email enquiries. Slippery Sid Wire in Tube System.

Email enquiries can be made about the Slippery Sid MINI Wire in Tube operating system for model railways @ bradwellmrc@aol.co.uk

SLIPPERY SID WIRE - IN - TUBE MODEL RAILWAY POINTS OPERATING SYSTEM

I experimented with the Slippery Sid wire in tube model railway points/signals operating system many years ago. I wanted a system that was:

Non electrical.

Could operate in a linear fashion to operate track points (turnouts) simply.

 Flexible and easy to cut to length.

A very low friction system.

Flexible so that it could curve around obstacles.

Inexpensive and reliable.

Useable on many different scale model railways.

Small in size and easily hidden on a model railway baseboard.

Reliable when operating points/signals/gates etc.

So I invented the SLIPPERY SID MINI WIRE IN TUBE OPERATING SYSTEM.

Each pack comes in a 5 metre length of wire and outer clear "plastic" tube. The wire in tube is flexible and can be cut to length.

SLIPPERY SID MINI.

Suitable for OO, HO and N gauge model railways etc.

The outside diameter of the tube is 1.6mm approximately.

The steel wire outside diameter is 0.46mm approximately.

The cost of the pack is £18.95 including U.K. Postage & Packing.

Cheques and Postal Orders made payable to A. Brittain are acceptable at present.
