This is a Peco code 75 turnout.

This picture shows how I drilled the hole into the plastic part from Central Valley (?) switch stand. I moved the Details West switch stands, too. Look at my album in Railimages or at my German site, the pictures will tell you.

And in motion at my video site.

drilling

I sanded this part a little bit where I drilled the tiny hole. This way I got space for the wire.

The first two switch stand were from CVt, I guess. I connected the throw bar with the switch stand linkage with a 0,3mm (0.012'') wire. At the second switch stand, the plastic rod was broken. I replaced it by a 0,7mm (0.03'') wire and a little piece of brass sheet.

The other end from the tiny steel wire was at the throw bar. I drilled a 0.012'' hole and glued there the wire.

Still without target. The switch stand were glued with ACC to the ties.
