| My lantern and
motor modules are based on the older German types and comprises both the
regular black paint versions of the lantern and the more exotic orange
type pr the so-called Rückfallweichen (Literally Fallback-points - I do
not know the English term, but you can lock the blades in one position,
and it still allows passing if you approach from the "branched" end.
Typical use for this type is in larger automated yards or stations with
small goods terminals - remote controlled- and manual type respectively)
The first batch only comes with
one type of motor though. Actually the Rückfallweichen uses a different
type, but I have not enough documentation to make a convincing model
yet.
Later releases will contain the manual switch, the wire/pulley type and
as mentioned above the fallback variety as well
The motor as such is a scenery
object with no function. Subsequently if you want to cut down on poly
use in your layout, you can use the lanterns alone. |
