Switch Machine Linkages Photos

Basic Method 1 Setup
Here are three machines set together.  The one on the left is using the sheath and rod.

Here you can see the push rod and clevis attached to the crank.


Two machines mounted vertically controlling a crossover.

A bell crank used to change direction of the push rods

Notice the one that used the bell crank is on its side.  The push rod extends through a hole in a girder.

Close up of the push rod thought the girder

The final result the 1/8" tube sticking up and a piece of .039" Piano wire operating the turnout.
