So I guess I would be getting a deal if I were to buy a pair for $40. Looks like I have to dish out about $80 for 2 pairs of switches that I need for my expansion part of the layout. I will be adding my 182 crane to that addition as well as 114, 118 and 128 newsstands, and 455 oil derrick,and last a 462 derrick platform. I would need a 5th Z transformer to make it all work of course. That is 7 transformers I have powering my layout for this christmas. 5 Z's, 1 KW and 1 ZW. WOW!! I just hope i can find a power strip with 7 outlets on it. I think I have one on my TV set. Have to swap that one out and put a 6 outlet one on the TV and use the 7 outlet one for the trains. My basement will be packed with trains come october 15th or so. I am also extending my elevated train onto the addition I am adding to my layout. My 404 and 400 budd cars will run that line. My addition is just a small freight yard. The piece of wood i am adding is 3x4. Just enough for 3 switches and a small freight yard for some engines and what not. This addition is all funded by the (3) 2526 heavyeweight cars I sold. Tell you one thing I got more that $350 for all 3. With the money I got from the 3 cars I was able to buy a 182, 114, 118, 128, 462, Z, 2 pairs of 022 switches, and a 455 oil derrick. Probably spent about $1,000 for all this stuff. I still had some money to spare. But, those heavyweight cars, I have not used them in 10 years. Glad they went to a good home where someone can use them. Well, you lose one you buy one. Thats the way I look at the matter. Man, father's day is comming up soon, my dad wants a Black Lettered 60 Trolley boxed...Humm. Well, gotta go. Thanks for all the help.
I have purchased 022 switches, complete, for $35.00 each. This was about 3 years ago. Make sure that the " non-derailing" feature works.
These were purchased from Nick's Trains.

What is a good price to pay for a pair of 022 switches from a private seller?? Someone I know is selling a lot of 022 switches, maybe 12 pairs. And I am in need of 2 pairs of 022 switches. I have not bought 022 switches in a while. Just wanted to know what they are going for now a days. He has them in boxes in excellent condition, with lanterns, plugs, bulbs and controllers which have been all rewired and they all work just fine. Last time I bought switches they were about $45 to $50 a pair. Are they cheaper or more expensive now?? I seen them sell on ebay for over $40 + Shipping = $50/pair. Thanks.
