[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ereimer</i> <br /><br />the february 2006 issue of MR has an article by Tony Koester about various methode used for throwing turnouts . one of them uses a paper clip , but i can't figure out from the photo how it works . there is also a reference to the December 1977 issue of MR for an article usina a piano wire spring . i suspect that's not the one you're thinking of unless 1977 is considered "a while back" <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />ereimer, <br /> If you look at that photo of Tony Koester;'s article Steve King's paper clip turnout control its a very simple idea. <br />Look at the picture at the bottom just left of center see how the clip is held in place now look just to the bottom of that and you will see a little hook if you move the clip to the other hook it provides torsion on the clip thus moving the turn out to the other side. pretty simple yet very effective idea.
