Advantages: Excellent performance in wet/muddy conditions, rim friendly, good wear rates Disadvantages: Pricier than the competition
This review is for the dual compound cartridge pads. They are black/salmon in colour.
A bit of History
The real secret of the Kool Stop's superior braking power is the salmon compound. Originally it was developed by Scott-Mathauser, and was recognised as the finest brake pads available, both for it's superior stopping power and durable compound. Kool Stop was under contract to Scott-Mathauser to manufacture their pads.Kool Stop obtained the rights to manufacture the salmon pads when Scott-Mathauser went out of business. The secret of the pads is that they contain iron oxide (i.e. rust), and work on the same principle as sintering does for disc brake pads. They dramatically improve wet weather braking performance as well as wear.

Advantages: A nice mix of songs for any mood and great to sing to in the car/shower! Disadvantages: An album that I found difficult to get in to... despite being a Turin Brakes fan.
the untrained ear. Such a beautiful song. Maybe my favourite Turin brakes song?
10. Building wraps around me
Nice guitar on this track and another interesting song. One I would love to learn to play. If you can sing harmonies with a friend then this song would sound great.
11. Jackinabox
The title track. This sounds like a single again.. But a failed single. A great song to sing to all the same.
12. Come and go
A nice jazzy, smooth song that shows off Olly knights' voice to the full. I can picture myself on a walk, stopping for a breather on a hill with a great view, with mp3 player ready to go. Think nature with this song. Wind, trees, view, grass, mud, rain?. It doesn't matter. This is the MOST PERFECT ENDING TO AN ALBUM.
As a conclusion, this album is very good, at times sublime. It is an album of two halves though ...
Advantages: good addition to a wooden railway Disadvantages: none

My 6 year old grandson has quite a lot of brio track including this stop and ramp track; he has had this train set since he was 3. He is not playing with it as much as he was but his little sister plays with it now.
Brio train sets are fantastic the wooden trains and tracks well made will last a long time. When my grandchildren have finished playing with them, I expect my daughter will sell them on for a good price, or most likely keep them for the next generation in nearly mint condition although they have been played with for many hours.
The brio stop and ramp track just adds a little more interest to the track ...
