Inspection Pit254 viewsI have moved the inspection pit so that it lines up perfectly with the turntable (no need for a short sharp curve).

Control Panel Computer394 viewsThe computer has been integrated into the control panel, by using the screen from a broken laptop, and a tiny computer motherboard. This will run JMRI which will control the signalling, block detection, and pointwork on my layout.

Threaded Rod = ?346 viewsBasically, my traverser will be moved side to side by a motor. I had to find a way to move the table top. I refined an ideaI saw on the small layout scrapbook to create this. Simply put, a threaded rod is place in bearings (from Maplin), and then 2 Bolts are put on. As the rod rotates, the bolts move one way or the other.

|
Motor Drive418 viewsThe threaded rod was then connected to a Motor i got at Maplin via a meccano chain and sprockets (The sprocket on the threaded rod was filed out of a washer by me)

Traverser Table392 viewsThe table was glued to the bolts on the threaded rod, and also to meccano rods and free moving tubes at either end for support.

Sand slopes291 viewsI have built up a layer of sand to form a nice even slope between the passing loop above, and the river. This hides the small drop down from the passing loop
