Hi All,
I want to put a model railway in my loft but there is no power sockets up there.
I've read the pros and cons of taking power from the lighting circuit and I think this is a no no from what I've read on here and other forums.
I have, however, got the old switch in the airing cupboard where my immersion tank used to be before I had it taken out when I had the combi boiler fitted ages ago. This also has a way in the fuse box as well (currently in the off position naturally).
Could I take a feed from this switch in the cupboard up into the loft and run a double socket from it? I'm not sure if I'd only need one double socket or two up there. Maybe if I use one double socket I could use a 3 or 4 way extension bar plugged into it. I'd also maybe need a mini heater to be plugged in as well.
Thanks all,
Brett
