rob D2 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Surely someone does something similar to the picture ( but not a double version ) Can’t find anything except 2 GWR levers and dummy ground. Signals from dart. Are there no laser versions around ? Any ideas ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don’t have time to be messing about with that ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted October 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Levers on their own from Dart Castings are Ref. L31 (4) and L31B (12). Knightwing did some too, though I think theirs came on planked bases. I have no idea if they are still in the range.

michaelp Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The Knightwing levers can be carefully straightened out before painting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Strangely, I ordered some knightwing ones , but they seem to be N gauge , but looking st them they seem a tad big for that scale Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Right Away Posted October 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2019 A problem with some "off the shelf" items of very small dimensions is they can be slightly oversized. For 00, items below a scale 3 inches (1mm) are often better fashioned out of copper wire (2.5mm). This can be twisted along its length, making it more rigid and then squashed to a degree, to form a square or rectangular section. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 If all else fails, there's at least one GWR style one at Westbury still Jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 I’ve straightened out the knightwing , supposedly N gauge ones, I’m not short that they are that short for OO ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelp Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 That looks ok to me, IIRC you dont have to use the planked bases and could make your own style instead. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See http://ambisengineering.co.uk/handlevers.pdf Good luck getting them to work but they are fine as cosmetic levers. Rgds 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
