mechanical point control

You may want to check out the earlier thread entitled "Mercontrol".

Thanks for the help, almost there- any thoughts on rods to operate points that do not go through tubes -

- I realise it could be difficult owing to scale sizing & strength but wondered if it was possible. Thanks

Yes, you can try that way...but I wish you luck.

Some time ago I built a small 00 layout to demonstrate the workings of a signal box, showing how points and signals etc could be changed. The system worked OK but required constant adjustment due to the expansion/contraction of the rods and lost motion. The (fuse) wire and pulleys were particularly susceptible and the whole thing was very vulnerable to accidental knocks.

I'm sure that a better system exists these days, but personally I would choose to fit dummy components and operate my signals and points by a more conventional method.

But I agree, noth>Hello

I'll give them a call. Thanks very much
