O/K you got to me! There is nothing wrong with a Shinohara turnout that a few
ninutes of your time cant fix.WE should be thankful that we have such a great
switch! Most of the problems are from the rivet in the center of the throwbar,
in some cases it is pressed in to hard, causing the bar to bend in a slight V.
The curved point rail will then be out of gauge. The first thing I do is drill
out the rivit and throw out the old throwbar. I make a new one from Radioshak
circute board material , the September issue of S Gaugian has a article on
this. Hint, clamp the intact points to the new throwbar before you cut them
apart ,drill and tap them at this point, this will keep the factory
clearances.The Tortoise switch machine is the best way to go,but the .025 wire
is to lite, replace it with .032 and you will never pick a point again. If you
need help,lets talk about it.
Have fun, Bob Spaulding
