1965 Eldon "Speed Control" automatic lane changer
Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2018 7:11 am20181023_073943.jpgI just received a pair of vintage Eldon lane changer to graft into my Artin 1/32 ac2car wired track.
The lane changing piece works ok but could be improved by shimming the bottom of the slot channel to ease the transition from the deeper Artin slot upstream and the Eldon track downstream.
Of course, the entire piece could be improved by removing the track conductor brackets from underneath the track, gluing a thin piece of plastic/mdf underneath the track. routing a deeper slot, etc.
