I am interested in making a working mechanical interlocking mechansim.
All I have found on the web are pictures of the levers, the top end of the machine.
I would like to make the lower end too.
The B&ORR Museum likely has photos from the B&O archives. They are just a bit tied up at the moment trying to get their facility squared away. Give them a few more months, then give them a try.
Look in old Trains, Railroad, and Model RR. Index under interlocking. Old pictures and explanations. Also check library.
