Hello, I’m re-configuring my O gauge layout for a freight handling area, and have a clearance problem with a Liionel postwar O22 switch motor (not enough room to mount it on either side) . Is there any way to mount this motor under the layout? It doesn’t look like it, but I had to ask in case there was a scheme out there?
If not, can you suggest another manufacturer’s switch, with the same O31 turning radius, which does have an under layout motor option? Thanks
The July 2008 CTT article by John Rusterholtz resolved this problem. The mechanism is placed upside down, underneath the motor and table and connected up by using rods. Searching this forum will give you other options and manufacturers. A tortoise slow switch is one.
Thanks for the tip! I dug out that issue, and it’s all explained there. And I’ll research this forum for some more threads, that might give me other options. Appreciate your help…Bob
