Cobalt-SS

Preparing the Tiebar & installing Links

We showed a little of this procedure in previous

pages but we thought a bit more detail might make

it clearer for you.

To install a Cobalt-SS link between motor and point, you will

need a small hole at the end of the tiebar (about 0.3mm or

1/64th inch). Most modellers will have the 0.3mm drill needed

for this, but if you use Peco pointwork, you won't have to drill!

We used our DCCconcepts DCT-XTC super-sharp

track cutters but you could also use a sharp scalpel

blade. Make a neat, tidy cut, parallel to the tie-bar.

Once the small vertical pin is taken off the tie-bar,

the point will look better AND a perfectly formed

hole will be revealed, ready for a Cobalt-SS linkage

to be installed, as the image below shows!

Now we have the pointwork ready to go, it is time to

select the link you will use from the varieties that we

supply, insert it into the Cobalt-SS point motor, then in

turn, connect the link to the tiebar.

The primary diference between the links is the

relative height between the two ends of the link.

The link you choose depends on the scale of your

model - Z, N, O/HO or O etc, AND the thickness of

your trackbed!

First, insert the smaller U-shaped end of the link into the hole in

the phosphor bronze throw-bar of the Cobalt-SS motor.

Once that is done, insert the other end of the link through the

hole in the point tiebar.

Use Cobalt and Alpha products for turnout or layout control and nothing is impossible any more!

Cobalt-SS

Preparing pointwork for best performance

Once the link has been inserted and you rest the Cobalt-SS on

the baseboard, the link should be close to parallel ~ horizontal.

If it is not, please consider adding a small, firm pad under the

motor before fixing it down.

It just needs to be flat & firm, so card, wood or similar, cut a little

larger than the motor and glued to the baseboard, are all OK.

Photographs above and below show a Cobalt-SS

motor with a link in place and ready to fix in place.

Note that the motor is lined up with the tiebar & that

the link is also reasonably parallel to the board.
