Plate 191:  Installing a surface-mounted point motor with an extension arm, Part 6
(This plate added NOV 2003)

With the baseplate's sliding arm extended so that the point is switched to the curved position (see Plate 190), a "Flying Scotsman" coach has been rolled onto the point. You can see from the picture that the overhang of the long "Flying Scotsman" coach places the side of the coach "unpleasantly close" to the corner of the R8015 baseplate.
