Instructions for the Reverse module V-type

Akiyuki provides good instructions for the reverse module here.

This includes the two-armed rotator that drives the suspension section that reverses the train direction.

However for the V-type version modifications, he only provides a couple of photos. While it isn't too difficult to interpret the photos, I've created some instructions and a parts list to make it a little easier for people who just want to get it built.

I've also included a slight modification to prevent the lift arm from lifting off the switch changer. In Akiyuki's videos the mechanism works seamlessly but I had problems where the lift arm would rotate off the changer under pressure. This is probably because my switch point is quite stiff and takes quite a bit of pressure to change. Also note the changer mechanism is very slightly rotated to make it align with the technic rotation points which probably makes the tendency to lift off worse.



Here are the instructions:

Extra Parts For Reverser V-Type

Note the parts list include the straight track, the switch point and the four parts needed to convert the rotator in the reverser unit to a four-armed rotator.
