A colleague of mine very kindly recently gave me a load of his old 00 locos, carriages, wagons and a couple of Old Duette contollers. (Grey Silver Colour, just like the one I had in the late 1960s/early 1970s.) They were stored in a tea chest in his loft for many many years.
I tried the locos out on my layout and some did come to life, but one did not, I will take them to Janes Trains in Tooting as the chap there said he can look them over and effect any repairs that may be required, howver he can't do the Controllers. I am wary of just plugging them into the mains without a qualified electrician testing them and making sure they are safe.
Does anyone know of any model shops or similar in the South West London/Middlesex Borders that may be able to do this?
Thansk Steve.
