While reading the welcome forum a post by one of our new members Deanism

i recalled taking some photos at one of our local shows.

The guy who made the jig made it so as to build the engines to run very small model trains

This pic is one of the setups he used to run the trains on.

He had a couple of different style track.

Love the jig but wonder if it needs to be so complicated.

Original use for an old guitar, too.

Which is the jig you are referring to? The big thing with the magnifying glass and alligator clips or the little bit its holding with what looks to be an armature?

If its the thing with the magnifying glass and clips.... I've got one in my shed. Common as muck and about 5 bucks. very handy when working on circuit boards.
