Tap wrench guide

[carl blum]

Hello Toolmaker51:
The turnout motor is mounted under the model train layout. At the bottom you can see the end of a piano wire that runs through the motor and table to the tracks above. By twisting the wire it moves the point rails. Very easy to install. The gray blocks are cams that hit the limit switches to stop the motor and to light up signals. The block with "7" on it is tapped for mounting and the switches. The top mounting plate is tapped to hold everything else. We made 75 of these in series production.
Commercial turnout motors require a sizeable hole be drilled before the track is laid. Torque wire control can be installed without disturbing anything above.
Carl.
