Drilling Oval Holes
On Purpose…
Under each turnout in the terminal I need to create a slot for the throwbar wire that connects the switch points to the Tortoise switch machines I will be using.
This is easily done by drilling a series of closely space holes and opening up with slot with the drill. This short video shows how this is being done on the layout.
