| | Controller Limiting Mod
|
| I'm sure I've seen somebody post a mod for limiting how far the knob can turn on the 9V Train Controller. I searched for it, but couldn't find it. Could somebody please direct me to the post or the site? Thanks. Play well. Tim Strutt (22 years ago, 14-Oct-02, to lugnet.trains)
