A recent Model Railroader article on Eric Brooman's Utah Belt RR (HO) had a sidebar on constructing a push-rod (or "toggle-spring") turnout control. I am attempting to do the same but am hampered by (1) the lack of dimensional data on the drawing, and (2) there being no wire size given for the piano wire used for the crank. I see no way to contact Eric directly, so I am hoping someone might be in contact with him and be able to ask for this information, and then post it here. If not, I'd like to hear from other members of this forum on dimensions and wire size.
