NEED A RELIABLE MECHANICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN TURNOUT & FROG POLARITY SWITCH
I'm about to lay my track. But before installing point motors I want to get the track laid and connectivity tested. To this end i will just manually switch my turnouts during the tests.
The problem is, I need a temporary, reliable, simple mechanical method of connecting the tie-bar (point blades?) to a microswitch or similar for switching the turnout frog polarity.
There must be hundreds of such methods and I don't want to 'reinvent the wheel'.
Any suggestions please?
