The plan:
Needed parts:
spring steel wire 0,8mm
brass rod 2,5mm
brass tube 4mm
threaded rod M3
eyelet 3mm
insulating screw joint
switch 1xUM
brass angle
wooden knobs (35mm)
The spring steel wire is angled and soldered to a (unpacked) luster terminal.
This throw bar wire is now easy to adjust to the brass rod. The guiding
is provided by the eyelets. The switch is actuated with terminals, too.
The wooden handle is a knob on the threaded rod fastened. Using brass tube
the threaded rod was soldered with the brass rod.
With some "decorations" you see at the end of October 2006 this:
Now, 12 Nov, the right corner part is to be wired, as a glance through
the yard shows. And then the turntable is to be installed, together with
wiring some power off tracks.. The engine facility should also have switch
off tracks. The layover track will be switched off. For the soundloks this
is helpful.
And I was tinkering with the operating threshold broken. So I had to install
two new ones.
Today, 19 November 2006 you can run around again. The loope is closed again!
It still lacks a few industry connections and the facility, but the yard
of Westport is operational. Last ride through the old yard was in early
June, before the FREMO-Treffen in Unna.
After a few test runs, the first business trip. In the classification yard
wait auto carrier to be added. Doubling the yard for long trains is still
a must!
And the next train has arrived, with a locomotive of the ECRL. The cars
are for the different industrial districts.

And the switcher was the first engine to turn.
