RSS Fetcher Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 This morning I finished glueing the last bits of track underlay in place bends are all pinned on place and all it needs is fitting, cutting and laying the straights made from flexi track.Some pins are needed to keep the underlay in shape as it wants to straighten out and the various sections don't always connect seamlessly but I'm hoping to cure that with ballast. For now lets see how it dries. I've also been trying to get the points motorised this morning and found that the old points are impossible to power from underneath. Earlier I experimented with a surface mounted servo But I don't like having random little buildings around the track to hide the motors. The actuator wire would have to be fitted into the sliding control lever and the only way that it can overcome the resistance of the old points is if the action is sideways not straight underneath.The only way I think I can control the points is like the image above, but that would leave me with exposed wire and servo arm. Maybe I should look for some better points. Next is going to be the powerbus round the track. Attached thumbnail(s) View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
