Greetings.


Condolences to Curt's family.


Hoping all are finding plenty of time to keep the hobby going forward.


Back to work. I found a small break in between work tasks.


Later.

Condolences to Curt and family!

More work on switch machines today, I think.  Apparently parts for those are getting hard to get, due to the chip shortage...

John, I found your articles on top-mounted switch machines.  (http://www.modelersforum.com/index.php?topic=4531.420)   Unfortunately, I'm installing a machine into a turnout that is already laid in place. 

add:  Success!  The turnout in question is under the blue arrow.  What I did was turn the layout lights on, then from underneath I could spot the throw bar hole.  There's double-sided tape on the switch machine, so once I pushed the rod through the hold, the tape held the switch machine into position.  I immediately apply a hemostat clamp to the rod on the top side, to make sure it doesn't fall back out.  Then I adjusted the machine for centering, and screwed the bracket into place.  It's more than 2' from the layout edge to this turnout's throwbar (under the blue arrow - wide angle photo...)
