Does anyone in the UK have any spare, or a source of 9V wires?  I'm rapidly
running out as I electrify things, and the only ones I can buy are either in
the motor kit or the train lighting kit.

Mark Morgan may still have some Exploration Mars sets (9736). These come
with very long wires, and I'm keeping mine :-)

I'm also looking to modify my train controller to output a steady 9V supply
on a Lego wire.  Is anyone else interested in this mod?  If it works, I can
probably make up some more - if I can get some wires, of course.  I could
offer to trade the mod for wires, I suppose.  It would be a simple fit,
possibly even no soldering, just open the case, fit, then screw back together.

What's wrong with just turning the knob to full on? This has the
advantage of being able to switch the +/-. This is so obvious a question
there must be something else. What have I missed?
