How about attaching them to the door to the shed and using it to swing them out of the way. I would also add additional hinges to the door to carry the extra weight. The ends of the bridges and corresponding benchwork and track would need to be cut on an angle on the opening side of the door...

fcwilt, now that RR-Cirkits went to LCC are you converting over?

Ok so I have been experimenting with the remote mount and as expected using the .025"diameter wire, it is flexing the ends of the point rails. So my question is how much is too much?

Ok, maybe some clarification is required. I am well aware of bel cranks etc to operate 2 or more turnouts with one switch machine however that is not the question. I recently purchased 10 of the Tortoise remote mounts for $4.50 each and plan on using them. So my question still stands as...

You can already do that with an extra Tortoise Cable actuator. The remote mount has 2 slots that a cable wires can clamp to. I was looking at using the other hole to bring a wire straight up from the slider and into the turnout. I would drill a hole up thru the slider and clamp the wire to it...

I am wondering if anybody has tried to use the remote mount at the Tortoise location to drive one turnout direct off the mount its self and another using the cable assembly that comes with it. I know you would typically use two cable assemblies to do it however just thinking outside the box.

I too am building my layout without much help. I did get some help with painting the room I built for the layout. I enlisted the help of one of my model railroad friends to help me with the track plan as he has 50 years in operations and design. Not to mention planning software. I will say that...

Sweepsticks are designed to sit on the ties in the center of the flex track and hold it in place while attaching the track to the sub roadbed. They keep the track radius concentric during the process. You can add easements by using a larger radius Sweepsticks on the ends. The other methods...

Awesome that your able to do a complete run. What a great feeling of accomplishment for you. Keep up the good work. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I suppose my terminology was incorrect . I have read about the differences however have no experience with either. Its because of the dral i got that determined the lighting route im going. Otherwise the tape light's would be the options. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Your link has an invalid URL. I am aware of the rope led light's however i would need a low hanging valance to use the effectively on my layout. I picked up all of the lighting shown in the room plus another 75 - 2 prong 12 vdc LEDS along with another 60' of track for 200 bucks. All came with...
