P.S. For any train heads, Horsham Toyworld has a few 12V train
accessories.... bugger of a time driving out there though :-(
FYI, I rang last weekish (on notice from Peter White) and they only had
curved track inserts, light packs, some points (remote and not) and a
transformer.

Yep, that's what I saw. Perhaps I should have been a little more specific.
Sounds like a few of us are pretty diligently hunting around, though... Out
of curiosity, what 12V train accessories would have been good to find?
Straight/curved track? Signals? I would have liked some signals, I don't
think I have any of those. Actually I don't clearly remember seeing them
anywhere ever. Did I imagine them? *scratches head*

I never saw them in shops but that's because the 12v stuff I have were
presents over a 4 year period. They must have been in Australia since I have
two sets.
My list of stuff to find runs
1. Straight track (with metal inner rail)
2. Another set of lights, since I have two motors hence I'd like 3 isolated
sections
3.Given both of the above I'd probably want at least anotherset of points to
complete a third passing loop.
4. A level crossing
5. Rolling stock of various sorts

At the last STUDS meet I got to see some 9v up close. Almost made me want to
change systems. Perhaps when they finally get remote points and things I'll
consider it again.
