Point Lever - Fully Trailable

 

This point lever is designed to work with all our portable points in gauge’s ranging from 3 1/2" to 10 1/4". The lever is weighted to hold the blades in the desired direction but still allow trains to trail through the points when they are set in the wrong direction. The mechanism utilises both Stainless-Steel and Nylon to ensure that the bearing surfaces do not corrode and deteriorate during use and remain free moving throughout the entirety of it's working life.

The product has adjustability built in to allow for minor changes if force is applied to the blades to be changed. This can be done by lengthening and shortening the control mechanism or by moving the weight along the lever which increases/decreases the force to hold the blades into position.

 

Attaching the lever

The lever is connected to the points with two locking pins with R-clips which connect the lever to the points, then one more pin is used to connect the mechanism. This can all be done in less than a minute and means that setting up the points and lever can be accomplished even by a complete novice in minutes.

Track is a range of 7¼ inch gauge portable track designed to be regularly laid and taken up. It is not the intention of the design to make a scale model of standard or narrow gauge track, but to make a reliable safe track that balances the constraints of scale against safety and to produce a design that is fit for purpose.  Upon receiving the track you will simply need to fit the rail joiner and/or point lever, after that the track is quite easy to assemble and disassemble. For more details please refer to the ‘Operating Instructions for laying Jubilee Track’ the full version can be found on MRW website.  Jubilee Track, laid in minutes giving hours of fun.
