Point Mechanism and Fitting : The track work is made up from Protofour components bought way back in the early 1980's and the point motor mechanism mentioned in a previous blog, well some of those components are being used for now. I did look at using servos, but couldn't resolve a problem with servo twitch, which happened as soon as the throttle was turned. So at the present time, I'm using some vintage Lemaco I had lying around, which are also very noisy. The illustrations below, show the point motor mechanism, its assembly, soldering the point blades, and hiding the holes required for point mechanism operation.
