manual switch throws?
Posted by Ralph on Sunday, September 9, 2007 9:31 PM
Hi, I'm Ralph, I have only posted a couple of times so I'm still new here. I'm looking for the manual switch throws that look like the real thing. I have seen them in HO and I thought I saw them for O scale. Can anyone tell me who makes them and where I can find them? I'm using Atlas track if that helps. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ralph

Hi, I just answered my own question. I am sitting here looking at an older O Gauge Railroad magizine and found what I was looking for. The company is Caboose Industries and the web site is www.cabooseind.com. So thanks any way Ralph

Caboose Industries makes manual switch stands.  These are available from Gargraves and other suppliers.
When everything else fails, play dead

Gargraves don't sell to the public but to hobby shops unless you put in an order for over $270.00.  In plain English Gargraves has a minimum order requirement!  Talked with a couple of hobby shop owners about Gargraves.

Actually I found a sight that carry's them and also found out that the hobby shop I partime at we can get them through Walthers. The web sight is www.Valleymodels.com. But thanks for answering my question.
