and is gonna make me rich! Yes friends, are you tired of paying high prices for remote controls for you Peco and other turnouts? Well, I know how you feel! Are you weary of crawling under your layout, trying to get turnout holes in just the right places, looking UP through your bi focals and can’t see a thing? Are you tired, my friends, of hot solder dropping in your lap? Well weep no more, the Jiffy Gem Remote Turnout Control is here! Made right here in good ol’ North America of Canadian and U.S. products… NO SIR… no Chinese imports here! That’s right, keep your money at home I always say.

Friends, would I lie to you? OF COURSE I WOULD! So dial 555- jiffygem right now. When supplies are gone , they’re gone!

Boy, I wonder how long this thread will last.

Very neat idea. (Seriously, i’m going to make one for myself. I’ve got a few hard to reach turnouts.)

Have you thought about packaging it with a set of Ronco knives? [:D]

Hmmmm… Jeffrey, that’s a good question!

Well, now I know what to do with that ‘thing’ my wife bought, a handle with a hacksaw blade that isn’t really a hacksaw…

Of course, there is one problem. I’m not using Peco turnouts.

There’s television, there’s telephone, and there’s tell a friend! [:D]That space age comfort grip must be the same material NASA uses to hold the shuttle together! Simply amazing!

Mike, I have one little area that has about… oh, 4 turnouts in it and, for now, just couldn’t bring myself to write a check for tortoises, wabbits and the like. OUCH! Necessity is the mother of invention, or something like that. Actually the thing works well on Peco turnouts with their little knob sticking up IF you grind off a little of the metal beyound the hole so it has room to push the turnout closed.

Jarrell

Yeah, but can you make one for Atlas turnouts that works when you clap your hands?

Or how about a Chia Pet layout that grows it’s own grass?[:-^]

Jarrell,

Step away from the egg nog! I think someone spiked it when you weren’t looking…

Sign me up for 4 sets. 2 for me and 2 for gifts next christmas. Schweet!

11

Do we save if we buy in bulk?

12

Oh… I like those! Chia Grass!

Jarrell

13

Naaay… hiccup! [:D]

Appears to be well engineered! it has the soft grip on the end and for the stubborn turnouts it even has the anti-slip grips mid-shank for 2 handed use.

I tried the number listed but got a message that all lines are busy, please try again later…

Maybe Dave Vollmer canuse it for getting his toast out of his toaster before he burns it again!
Looks like it would easily pry toast outof a toaster!Dave, make sure you turn down those 11,000 volts in your catenary first though!

16

I called the number, all I got was some heavy breathing…

maybe need to check my circuits…

patented hole…groan…your rich for every donuthole and paper punch…

Now THAT’s cutting-edge technology there - Yes, sir! I see Fortune 500 written all over this product. [^][tup] And you saw it here first.

Believe it or not, Jarrell, I actually started working on inventing a very similar tool like this one a while back. But, after a while, I found that I just wasn’t hacking it so I put it aside.

Anyway, lettuce know how these MRRing life-savers turnout for you. [swg]

Jarrell, is that a toll free number? I don’t have long distance service. [:D]

CALL COLLECT! I JUST SPENT 30 MINUTES PLACING MY ORDER AND CHATTING WITH THE ‘ORDER SPECIALIST’.

You forgot to promote that it’s a multi tool. Use it to cut expansion gaps too![;)]
