Thank you Tim, the best part of the system is pulling the the rod, as I feel like a signalman, in control of directing a train. A physical thing, not electric, not pushing a button. It is a good feeling. I do have some push button point control but get pleasure of my 6 rod controls. Barry.Devon
Hi Alan, please forgive my lack of attention in acknowledging your comment . I hope you are still watching as I am up to Video 46 and the layout is still way off from being finished ..................Barry
Hi Barry, thanks for sharing, your engineering skills and patience are beyond mine well done I get the feeling you enjoyed doing it. I've recently started putting up videos so I can sympathize regarding editing etc. Keep up the good work and thanks again for sharing.
Hi Kevin, I am glad you enjoyed the video. I have also done another on point control, Video 30, 3 handdraulic points in 15 minutes. My main reason for doing the hand ones, is after I tried to fit electric point motors under the baseboard and failed in a wild blast of Anglo Saxon. 3 point motors in the bin. Around the same time, I found a pivot system in a very old Peco leaflet and hey presto. The present video I am working on is me constructing a cardboard platform for 4 carriages............Barry............. enjoy the hobby and keep safe
Hi Dave, so sorry I did not reply to your comment 4 years ago. I must admit that I am very happy that a fellow modeller of your very high standard had watched my attempts to take the click out of those point movements close to the edge of the board. I do have Peko surface ones in the awkward places.............Barry
Hi Matthew, it does seem that the basic mechanical systems are endless in their success. It is a very useful little booklet and I can vouch for its success as the two areas I used it in, (either end of the Westhaven station) are still working well, almost 5 years on. Have you tried it yourself? All the best Barry
Eduardo, thank you so much for watching my video 4 years ago and I am sorry that I missed your comment, but thank you very much for it................Barry
Excellent description thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for looking at my video, I hope it was a help. Ours is a great hobby

A great simple and effective way of doing it.. I love it..

Hi Pete, how is it going? Just found your comment from 5 years ago. I am now on to number 46.............Barry
Works well nice and simple
