Hump Yard Turnout Levers

Posted by mike33469 on Monday, December 20, 2004 9:20 PM

I'm building an around the room shelf layout using all Peco turnouts. Does anyone have any experience using these levers? They look great and if they work as good as they look I think they'll be better than under the table turnout motors. What do you guys think?

I'm gettin ready to hook up about 15 of them. Way too easy.
I just can't figure how to configure them. I think that I will set them up
in groups. Yard group. Main line east/west group. Town (Dog Village) group.
Crude oil group. Well fieldgroup

I have looked at the web site - interesting. Why are you using these levers with Peco turnouts? Are the turnouts too far away to reach? The Peco turnouts have a nifty 'spring-lock' feature that makes having to by ground throws unneeded.

Yes. some turnouts will be difficult to reach after the scenery is complete. besides the levers just look so neat.
