Robert Peck provides us with an interesting approach to manual turnout control. The fun of introducing some realism to the activity.

Nice tip. That rod looks like a bicycle wheel spoke (its also threaded) . When I eventually get a layout going I'll have to try it out... The brass knob looks very classy too eh.

piratepeteakadocc I will pass the word to Robert, though I am not sure if the bicycle spoke would be as economical. Good point though.

May I ask what the rod is that he is using?

I thing the push rod comes with the turnout control. Look at MicroMart
