Modelling tips

“I like to use those throw away water bottles with the pop up tops, dry completely and fill with scenic materials.

A gentle squeeze allows you to control the amount of materials. Also it can be used as a gunite type applicator on slopes.

“For chain link fence I take screen for screen doors and cut it diagonally and use straight pins for the fence post.

“Hi Al,

After I wired up the peco capacity discharge unit Pl 35.

I wired up the points, I did solder the wires on to the switches.

To keep everthing neat I used a switch console Pl 27

I then ran the 2 outside wires from each switch to the peco point motor, I used the Pl 11. Side mounted motor.

The photos show the points wired up and the wiring under the control panel.

One point is on a bush tramway, bit naughty, that is the one on the bridge.

I also typed up a guide so I will know which lever does what, and so will another operator.

Paul”
