For clever and reliable 'wire-in-tube' mechanical control of points and signals, without the traditional headaches.
Rationale
Mechanical control using the wire-in-tube method is not new. But MODRATEC has developed its range of WIT Products with the aim of
eliminating the headaches that have traditionally been associated with this form of control.
- The performance of our WIT Control is not affected by temperature.
- There is no need for precision adjustment of linkages.
- It is simple to operate across baseboard joins.
- It is simple to fix the danger and clear positions of semaphores.
- It is simple to 'slot' signals.
And the
traditional benefits of WIT Control remain.
- It is very affordable.
- It is easily understood - you can see what is going on.
- You have direct control over the speed of operation of points and signals.
- It is quiet.
- It is robust.
Products

- Wire - 1mm diameter music wire for general use - 6 metre lengths.
- Wire - 0.35mm and 0.5mm music wire for semaphore push rods - 2 metre lengths.
- Point-wit - a 'slipping clutch' mechanism for driving turnout points.
- Sig-wit - a 'slipping clutch' mechansim for driving semaphore signals and setting repeatable danger and clear positions.
- Slot-wit - a mechanical logic gate for conditionally driving signals.
- Plus cranks, links and joiners.
