    G`day Folks,
    This weeks episode covers my old manual control system.
    I had a request from one of the YouTubers to see it working after he had watched a rather long video I did quite some time back, which shows the development and final installation of the system on my railway.

    Anyway, I thought I had covered the subject comprehensively, but apparently not..???
    So this may be of interest to our newer members, as the original video, Episode 11, was done in the early days of this forum when membership numbers were quite low but constantly moving upwards.

    Below are some pics showing the lever frame set up complete with track diagram and signal box cat.

    And an exploded view of the lever assembly for the front of the box.

    And finally, the video demo done today.
