VERY crude experiment with turnout control.

[Ralph]

The third turnout was a challenge. When I first set this turnout in place years ago the throw bar was too long and snagged against the turnout next to it. I rashly cut the bar off! So....no throw bar to connect my fishline to! I ended up drilling holes inside the turnout and fashioned a small bent nail connection attached to the points. I'm a little worried the super glue might not hold it in place, but so far so good after a few hours and a few trials of switching the turnout. The up side is the mechanism is even more subtle on this one. I'll ponder painting the green line black or gray.



Here is how the fascia looks with three installed turnout controls.
