Not a lot of visual difference--after doing farm chores and building a new milking stand for Peanut (one of our goats) I spent about four hours tuning the turnouts. I finally got over the throw bars, and accepted that I could solder and unsolder them at will--what is the worst that could happen? I just have to make another one. Here is the Gnat in some context for a change. . .
I used hardware from Hump Yard Purveyance for the turnout actuators--I installed them with enough slack so that I could re-mount them when I do the fascia. All in all pretty slick items. In the end, I decided to use a vertical lever actuated by the Hump Yard throw-- The throws are available at www.humpyard.com.
I like the way they work, and the Teflon sleeves and stainless actuator rods are easy to work with.
Snap Snap go the points. . .
