Back to the locks. The operators at the last session liked the locks. They said it added to the fun and realism and wasn't tedious at all. I went ahead and added the modified hasps to all the mainline turnouts, 20 in all. I figure this gives me options... if the crews want locks, we'll use them, if not, we take them off and ignore the hasps.
Photos of the mechanisms - the first is for a turnout that is aligned to the main when the knob is pushed in, the second for when the turnout is to the main when the knob is pulled out. All the locks are keyed the same, and each operator has a key on a lanyard to wear around his neck for convenience.
