022 Switches!!!

[Frank53]

I would avoid new #22 switches!!!

The work poorly compared to post war #22 switches!!!

And they are way overpriced as well!!!

I used one new #22 switch on my layout and 10 post war #22 switches on my layout!!!

The new one is a constant problem !!!

I am replacing it with a post war #22 switch!!!

Save yourself money and headaches by going with a post war model !!!

That is very true.  I will wait til saturday then.  Problem solved.  I am only a few steps away from completion.  Just need to get 4 more switches, wire them up, Secure my elevated train tressels, add buildings and lights for them, and wire up my 71 lamp posts.  I think I have like 16 of them.  What is the best way to wire up multiple 71 lamp posts??  Could I run ground to a ground strip, and power to a power strip then to transformer??  Thanks.

I need 2 pairs of them.  But, I need them now.

 

 Why do you have to have them ":now"?  An older gentleman once told me when you get in a hurry is when you start spending money. He was right. You don't need them now-you want them now.I'd wait over that much money. No doubt at all. Part of the fun for me is waiting for things I order to arrive in the mail.This is a hobby-not a job to be done on a schedule.

I am working on my permanant layout in my basement and I need more 022 switches.  Here is my problem.  I have a seller that has them for $45/pair but he will not have them until next saturday.  I need 2 pairs of them.  But, I need them now.  So, I called about 4 or 5 hobby shops in my area and they all say they have them, but they are $100/pair.  I was like wow.  I looked on ebay, they go for about $45/pair as well, but take about 3 or 4 days to get here.  So, you think I should wait til next saturday to get 2 nice pairs boxed from a friend or just try ebay??  Shipping is what hurts.  Like $8 or $9 for shipping and the ones for $45/pair i can drive and pick them up, less than 5 miles away.  This whole situation has me on hold for a week more.  I have so much to do, and i cannot do anything more until I get them two pairs of switches.  I could take 2 pairs of switches from another part of the layout and do it that way, but i will still be back where i started.  Humm.  I guess I will have to wait til next saturday.  I never knew until now how important 022 switches can be.  You really need them.  Thanks.
