This is powered by a 9v battery (not supplied) and the crocodile clip is used to "earth" the unit before use. Each type of grass, or a blend of grasses, is added to the hopper (the lid is removed by unscrewing, and then re-shut), and the unit switched on. As the individual filaments of nylon grass pass through the grid in the lid an electrical charge causes them to stand up straight, thus landing on the glue upright and creating the effect of the real things. Careful blending of the colours and lengths can create some very realistic results indeed!

The idea of Digitrains was conceived over the dinner table and grew very slowly as doubts calmed missionary zeal. We finally took the plunge in January 2005 and are fortunate to be dealers for some of the best and most user friendly DCC equipment available.
