Manual Turn-out Control

[e-paw]

Going along with your theme I had to install one of your switch machines in a difficult spot on the layout. the switch is right at the edge where a removable section goes. The track plan doesn't allow me to move the switch to a new location or alter the bench work. To solve the problem I add a linkage and moved the switch machine to a remote location. The pics explain the process.     I had to gouge out some of the bench work to clear the 3 way.


    I used a plastic coffee stirrer glued down to the foam to protect the linkage. There will be a building placed here to hide my contraption.
