Hello all !! ... quick question !
 
Hi! Everyone! ... Not sure if correct etiquette to ask a question here but have been trying to figure out something for ages and have giver up so I though I would ask the guy that would know lol!!... What are those things on the lower platform walls that look similar to a sliding volume control? they are about 6" x 9" with a black sliding button on it?... cant figure out what they could be used for lol!... thanks

Pete

It's all to do with the track alignment, datum, sort of thing. One of the more expert P.Way types on here will give you the full workings of it I'm sure.

Regards, and a warm welcome to the forum, 62440.
