Wagon compensation unit. Small flat brass etching. Only worth about a fiver.

Hi Everyone. Anyone had any problems getting items from Dart Castings in the Uk. I ordered some wagon compensation units from them about a month ago. Yesterday I got an email from them saying the package had been returned by Irish Customs. I suggested they used the wrong customs tariff code. They sent me a photo of the return label. Anyone get something like this before ? Tony.

You could take a photo of the plan & put it up here. The more information you provide, the more we can try to help.

It might help if people knew where you are ? Are you in DC or DCC ? More information is needed ? I'm sure someone will be able to help.

Even the delivery charges are reasonable

I continue to resist It's like giving up smoking, it gets easier every day that passes.

Seriously tempting even though I have no O gauge track or stock

Rails always deduct the UK Vat. Postage can be a little higher than Hattons but the orders are securely packed & arrive by registered Royal Mail post. When the parcel arrives in Dublin you are sent a card by An Post with details of the Vat to be paid. Once the Vat is paid online the package is released for delivery. Whether you are charged the An Post handling fee of €3-50 seems to be a bit hit & miss.

Postage with Rails will certainly be more expensive than Hattons.

I'd say most of their stock was either returned to the manufacturer or else bought in bulk by another retailer as there was very little on sale in the first place after the closure was announced.

To answer my own question. The correct Rails connect decoder is RoS-218.4.2.

Question for anyone running one of these on DCC ? I can switch on the headlights but I can't switch on the cab lights from my NCE Power Cab. Anyone have this problem ? I can switch the cab lights on & off with the wand but not from the handset ?
