OUR SPECIAL MINIATURE SOFT COPPER TUBE SYSTEM
ALLOWS REMOTE LINKAGE DISTANCES
UP TO SEVERAL FEET

NO NEED TO GO "UNDER BASEBOARD". EASILY HIDDEN
OR BURIED IN BALLAST AND UNDER SCENERY LAYERS.
EVEN SMALL ENOUGH TO PASS UNDER INTERVENING TRACK WORK
 AND BETWEEN TIES

MTUB1  (tube) and MWR2 (wire)

UNIQUE THICK-WALLED SOFT COPPER, INSTEAD OF HARD BRASS,
 ALLOWS FOR SIMPLE HAND BENDING DOWN TO TINY 2" RADIUS
 FOR EASY AND CONVENIENT LAYOUT AND INSTALLATION.
JUST FIX IN PLACE WITH REGULAR TRACK SPIKES.

Easily bendable wire can be formed into omega loops and hook ends with simple hand tools.

The extra small internal diameter keeps mechanical losses (hysteresis) to a minmum.

               

SPECIAL ANGLE CRANKS ALLOW EXTRA SHARP TURNS,
WHILE SPLITS CAN OPERATE MULTIPLE SWITCHES SIMULTANEOUSLY
AND EVEN SELECTIVELY IN A REVERSE DIRECTION.

For example: The right hand picture shows how to connect a crank to
throw both halves of a crossover from one throw lever .  .  .
(can you see how? - answer below)

INTEGRATED LEVER FRAMES, WITH LOCKING LEVERS, ARE AVAILABLE
FOR MULTIPLE SWITCHES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY,
SUCH AS YARD LADDERS, STATION THROATS, ETC.,

          

OUR RANGE OF MINIATURE PRESSURE AND CAM OPERATED SWITCHES,  ADDS INCREDIBLE FLEXIBILITY FOR ELECTRICAL DETECTION OF OPERATING POSITION, AT EITHER END OR ANY JUNCTION OF A TUBE LINK.  THESE TINY, ALMOST INVISIBLE SWITCHES CAN OPERATE PANEL OR SIGNAL LEDS OR LOGIC INPUTS DIRECTLY.

OUR INEXPENSIVE POWER RELAYS CAN AMPLIFY THOSE SIGNALS TO ROUTE FULL DC OR DCC TRACK POWER, SWITCH FROGS,
OR EVEN CONTROL OTHER MOTORIZED DEVICES.

{Answer: Both switches of a crossover can be thrown if the lever is connected to the wire in the LH or the UPPER tube.  Either way the wires in the other two tubes will operate in opposite directions to pull one throw rod and push the other.  Omega loops will likely be necessary on at least one throwbar}
