N Scale Transfer table
I thought that some here may like to see a N Scale Transfer table that I have built out of a DVD head unit, I scrapped an unneeded DVD/CD Player that was given to me, as it was not Digital it was not of use to the owner anymore and was being thrown out. Lots of little screws, cogs, 3 motors and lots of dodads that I can use later, but the prize was the slide table that moves the head that reads the DVD, It's 47mm between the tracks and the tracks are 65mm long.I used a on/off/on SPDT switch for direction and to run the motor, it will travel from one end to the other with a micro SPDT
switch at each end of the run to turn it off, I have tried it with my Consolidation 2-8-0 and tender and it moves nicely. The cogs at the side is covered over with a square of corrugated tin [tinfoil] and a control cabin sits on top, inside cogs ect are painted black to hide them.
Regards Jeff.
