Turnout Mechanical Adjustments

Tommy took some time out from building the new ladder track to go over with me some of the mechanical adjustments to get the turnout working flawlessly. He showed me the various adjustments and gave me a spring cylinder to take apart so I would understand just how it all works.

I had noticed that after changing the motor module, it seemed that the turnout control did not pull the switch track firmly up against the rail in both positions so a train could derail if a wheel missed the moving rail. This is when Tommy showed me where and how to adjust the mechanism to make it work exactly correctly.
