Hi,
My brother has recently totaly rearanged his 'OO' layout and wants to operate the majority of the turnouts manually instead of the 20 / 30 solenoids, switches and associated wiring. We are aware of many wonderful levers or wires which may be used but I wondered if there are any manufacturers or clever scratch builders that could advise how to make or where to obtain equivalent lever types as on a prototype say industrial site. I have a picture from my clockwork 'O' gauge stuff which shows the lever equipment I am trying, poorley to explain.
These large heavey levers were all round the ICI site I spent my life on and this is what I / we would like to reproduce on 'OO' gauge points.
Bye Neil
