Hi Philippe, yes, mine operate from 9V but the string must have a little slack when it is in the relaxed position. This gives the mechanism a chance to accumulate some inertia before it has to do any work.

I think it would work even better if you used ‘SNOB’* techniques so that the capstan is the same level as the rail thereby allowing a direct path for the string.

(...) Hi John, Thank you for this complement. Do you think the 12V actuator could work with a 9V tension? I don't have such 12V actuator yet but your suggestions is very smart and so simple. Philippe. (20 years ago, 10-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
