a differnt use for a trainline point motor

[mike]

today i decided to install the trainline point motor i was given, by marcs.. i decided to use it to motorise a brass/plastic wheel chock , i had bought from a german surpllyer after spoting one on brusce/gillians railway.. after i installed the wheel chock, i mocked up in brass how i wanted to do it, i made the brass brackets to hold the throw rod in place, wired the train line point motor in, and programed it to the same point adress as the point motor leeding into the coal yard, so when the yard point is thrown into the yard, the wheel chock is removed.. and when the yard point is set to main laine, the wheel chock is set onto the rail to protect the main line.. the trainline pointmotor is coved by a lineside hut.. see the video
