DCC and the geriatric modeller.

One of the standard biology experiments at school was to apply an electric current from a battery to a dead frog's leg to make the muscle contract.

ISTR that an Italian scientist called Galvani first did this a few centuries ago, one of the first demonstrations of electricity.

Thought any european would do

At least these frogs are never phased.

Is this about live vs dead frogs?

Single poles obviously come from Poland. Double poles presumably would be twins? Tad poles come from close coupled Poles???

The experiment is usually done with dead frogs, otherwise you tend to get false positive results.

Is Nicolas Sarkozy[1] another celebrity railway modeller?

Cant see him retreating to his shed to get away from his misses

Charles De Gaulle is a dead frog, but not a short one.

Vladimir Putin is a short St. Petersburger.

Present and recent leaders of UK, USA and Canada have all been 6 feet or over - Brown, Blair, Obama, both Bushes, Clinton, Harper, Chrétien.

How many misses does he have? What about his missus?

Those false positive results can play havoc with one's social life!

Greatest benefit of taking up model railways is got an excuse to avoid a social life :-) Made some very nice friends though.

And it certainly has those, but they're very good for generating repeat sales for more complex (rarely Hornby) systems when the limitations & issues are appreciated.

John.

Wonder how many people have had the same problem when bought the dynamis then realised how theyd get stung to bring that up to a decent complex system ? At least the select was marketed as cheap and cheerful - I like it as a cheap extra handset.

So what is generally recommended as the best system or systems?

David

Can only tell you about the Select and the Elite (which am really happy with), but if anyone waas to give you a recommendation then they need to know what you plan to do and how much you wish to spend.
