QUOTE Thanks for the compliments re the 'lever frame' - I hope eventually to make up a proper mechanical frame complete with the appropriate interlocking.
having recently read an article in MRJ concerning construction of a fully-interlocking lever frame in brass, etc [an Australian item of manufacture, I believe]....I do declare you must be into self-punishment of the very worst kind.....worse than scratchbuilding an engine with full inside valve gear?
Are those old lever frame [switches] that Hornby used to produce...in various colours......still available?
they always seemed to me to be infinitely more in tune with a model railway than a push button [or qwerty key board]
