Recently, I was paid a bit of a complement.  I was told that "not many people do what you do", in reference to my choice of prototype that I model.  That's a bit of a double edged complement though.  On the one hand, hey, cool, I'm doing something fairly unique, and on the other hand, well, jeez...is there anyone else that does what I do?  So I figured I'd write a bit about it, since I also enjoy writing, and maybe, just maybe, someone out there is interested in this as well.

After missing August the Kanunda and Emu Flat Railway hosted an operating session for six operators on the ninth of September 2013. Every one enjoyed the session and the rains ran well. Here are a few photos and for more information please read the attached news letter while you can.                                                                                   

Some time in the future, I'm going to need a fair number of boiler tube pilots in HO scale.  Here's an example, on Danville & Western Ry. #23, in 1939:

I have a location where the diverging move of one turnout (A) crosses the straight move of another (B)  and will be using Tortoises to control them.

When A is set to diverge I would like B to automatically move to diverge also.  When A is set for straight, I would like to retain full control of B.  

I had two thoughts.  Either use the contacts of Tortoise A to interlock Tortoise B or use A's control switch to interlock B's control switch. 

Any ideas, brilliant or otherwise to accomplish this?
