You really need to start using the search feature on the forum....

I cable operated the points on Robins Run. Take a look at the thread in the Layouts section for some photos. If you want to copy the idea, I may be able to dig out the 3D print files and do some printing, etc..

Hi Doug
I have seen your point wire controls for turnouts and wondered if you can place the printed 3D parts in the Talking T Gauge Shop as I want to but some so that I can get my layout underway(if possible).

Kind Regards
Graham

According to the T gauge.com facebook page their might be powered points very soon.

In response to an enquiry about the powered points, according to the TGauge.com facebook page, they might be available in around 6 weeks.

hi

thats good as I am just starting on my next project and will need either motors or wire for the manual points system.

I had to scrap my first layout attempt including points but in the hope of rescuing something managed to motorise one with a Seep motor. It's a bit fierce and I'm unsure the Eishindo ones could cope for long. Meant cutting away a little of the base and drilling a hole in the tiebar.

Hi there,

Jumping on this train, I wonder if anyone can tell me what exact material Eishido uses for the rails. Or is this their well-kept secret... I made some point-building exercise here with spring steel, but it seems not to give the requires magnetic adhesion. Does anyone have a hint?

Cheers
