Old Infrared Controllers by Catnip Enterprises

nospam · 2008-02-03T01:21:55+00:00

Back in the early 1990s an Australian company, Catnip Enterprises,sold an infrared handheld controller, the TH-200-IR. This was longbefore the days of DCC. I still have one that I use on my travelingself-contained module but am looking for one of two things: eitherthe remote detector they sold or some info on how to build a remote IRdetector. Since IR is liine of sight only, it would help to have theremote detector they sold (it plugs iinto the back of the main baseunit) so when I'm on the opposite side of the layout I can stillcontrol the train. Yeah, I know I should have bought one when theywere still available if I want to keep using the unit, but that was along time ago.I'm not an electronic whiz in any sense of the word so buildingsomething has to be the absolute last resort.Thanks in advance.--------------------------------------------Never criticize another until you've walked a mile in his shoes.That way you'll have his shoes and be a mile away.--------------------------------------------For email reply, try jwudgy at tds dot net and you'll get through.Thanks.

And Rush Limburger is saying McCain and Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) are close enough for Graham to "die from anal poisoning". Really makes you think he may be onto something when you hear CNN say the Grnd Oligopoly Protectorate candidates are in a three way. No wonder Ann Coulter is feeling left out.
