Title: Hands On: Construct a standard #6 HO gauge
turnout |
| Scale: All |
Last
presented: MER Princeton 2010 |
| Description: This is a hands on workshop for an
absolute maximum of 6 individuals. It would be a big help for anyone
looking to complete the Civil Engineering AP certificate. During
the clinic we will construct a standard #6 HO gauge turnout to NMRA
dimensions using PC board ties and rail stock. This is not the method I
use for construction of turnouts on my layout, but it is the best way
to teach the basic technique. There will be a very short Power
Point presentation during which I will point out what resources are
available for producing a large volume or switches or for building
switches with a higher level of detail. I will bring a sample #6
switch as well as a set of components so the participants can see what
we are trying to achieve. I will also supply each participant a set of
PC board ties positioned on an outline of a #6 switch. Extra
fare.
