T-Gauge Point Motor Demonstration

In an old post I explained a very simple method to first modify and then motorise a T-gauge point unit. Well, to prove the concept, below is a video demonstration.

In addition to the modified point unit and servo you will also see a PC and Arduino controller. The Arduino is the eventual controller for the layout but a separate servo controller interface will be needed to power more than a couple servos. Using the pulse-wave modulation (PWM) from Arduino outputs for servo and train motor control will be a feature of future posts.
