Something I’ve wanted to do for years finally got done…The LVM ground throw. The seed for the idea came from Pete of “DAISY BEACH” who used barrel bolt latches to create his. He drilled through the barrel and then inserted the rod. I always found drilling a long way through a rod very hard…seems the hole was never straight. Soooooo… 2 sections of code 250 rail soldered to two straps to mount to the ties. The rail is notched to accept the hand rod that moves the barrel. And the end of the rod is drilled a short way to accept the the 2-56 threaded rod (Blue loctite after final setting of nuts). The nuts are adjusted to control the amount of throw applied to the connecting wire to the switch. The pictures probably do a better job than my explanation. Note the two directions for the hand rod. Down on the left when the RR is unattended so it’s not going to break if it gets stepped on and up to the right for operation…easy on the fingers. This is also a 32mm gauge Y stub switch…something I’ve had long in the planning stage. The idea has been to build either a 16mm English style RR or a 7/8ths industrial RR. Lots of abandoned efforts in 7/8ths as I’ve never come up with an engine I like using 45mm gauge…more hope in 32mm I think
