"Slippy Sid" wire in tube.

Is Slippy Sid, tube in wire still obtainable?

I cannot find this in the latest Railway Modeller. A web search produced a (2013) Blog, address and email for Anthony Brtittain, who supplied it:

You could try contacting him this way.

Thank you will try.

The one I use is called 'Mercontrol', which is available from Antics. Find them on the web. Great service, great product.

Just to add more fuel to the fire the one I have used is available from DCC Supplies (www.dccsupplies.com).

Both the wire and the tube are quite heavy duty and don't take kindly to severe bends but it is very good. Worth a look.

Have you thought of using cycle brake cable? It may be a bit unrefined but solid and reliable, and if (like me) you were to get it off a bike in a skip at the local tip it wouldn't  cost you a penny.
