Several years ago, NTTM had a display of HO artifacts from a gentlemen
named Miller from suburban Philly. He had NO switch motors, rather push rods;
formed very nicely, some with "gimbels" in the runs, some turned corners,
etc. His roundhouse doors opened with a push rod, his turntable turned by
a crank, his ash pit conveyor was hand cranked as was the conveyor to the
coal tower. Rotary switches took the place of relays, etc. There seemed to
be less than NO interest in the display and it was removed after one year,
apparently no one could relate to the fifties.

be done with what we had to do it with.
