ColHut Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 G'day, Is it possible to get scale, or at least small and discreet, 90 degree bell cranks so that surface-mounted point motors can drive turnouts at 90 degrees to the normal direction of throw? I want to use my DCC Concepts Cobalt SS motors parallel to (in fact between) tracks. regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColHut Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Thanks both. The Brassmasters versions are listed as cosmetic use only, but Ii have popped them an email as if two were laminated they might be useable. The Wills ones, despite being oversize, do not look durable enough. regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Storey Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Or maybe these https://www.dccconcepts.com/product/cobalt-right-angle-adapters-with-mounting-hardware-3-pack/ I am not sure they would work with the SS motors, but perhaps they might avoid the need for bell cranks? I am interested in what solution you eventually find, as I am intending to mount as many of my point motors on the surface as possible. SS looks like the right product but the cost is making me continue to look elsewhere for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColHut Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 I will let you know. The DCC ones are quite large. Modratec also do a range of cranks but they are all really for WIT and below board use, and very large. I have some platforms already down so space is limited. Some others I will put under platforms with a loose lid. The rest..we'll see! regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS looks like the right product but the cost is making me continue to look elsewhere for now. The RA adapter is designed for fitting to a "normal" Cobalt motor. It is not suitable at all for use with the SS motor. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
