Terrific mechanical work. I don’t have electrical powered points and rely on the hand of God principal but have often thought about wire and levers as an alternative. Thanks for sharing, very inspirational
I would prefer this over out of scale ground throws or costly electric switch machines for my industrial switching layout. Have you published any details on how you made this?
Sorry for the late reply. I don`t always seem to get notifications about replies on my channel.? There is detailed coverage of my system in the video below. th-cam.com/video/pZmt_4D4VK0/w-d-xo.html Cheers Gormo
hi Luke, i use this very dependable way on my n gauge layout but i drill a small hole in toggle part of the switch bend the wire at a right angle and push the wire through the hole, giving some adjustment by increasing or decreasing the angle of the bend in the wire . ( works for me ) - regards John .
Hi John, I think you must be mistaking me for Luke Towan, another Aussie.? Yes your method is used by one of my friends, it`s a solid and reliable method. Cheers Gormo
This is brilliant! Where abouts do you get the levers from? is it possible to remove the triangle part of the operation and still have it fully functional?

@@greatchesterfordjunction Thank you for that information. I'm sure many people will benefit.
Nice, was thinking the same, the concept is as old as (model) railways themselfs.. build a tower to sit in and have a real Stellwerk. ;))

Very European looking video....
But, VERY clever idea!! works just as good as any overpriced system!

The triangle is just a corner so unless you need the wire to curve you can avoid using the triangles
