Well, after suggesting the braided fishing line I had to go out of town to get it because our Bass Pro Shop didn't have any. So I went to Wal-Mart and got it. I also found some things called metal crimp tubes
that I thought I could use over a pin to make crude pulleys to ease the path of the string. I'll post a picture when I do one.
I was also wondering if a rubber band could be used to tie to the string that holds the points in the one position and staple the other end so it would have the right amount of tension. You can buy a lot of high quality rubber bands for the cost of the weight hooks (Ralph thinks he's cheap)
The possibilities of this basic principle are endless. This is why I think model railroading is fun, and having all the members here to yea or nix ideas is great. How about running the strings to a set of Armstrong levers.
