can anyone tell me if they have gone out of business?
Is there someone who might still have some of the air cylinders in stock
thanks

Keep the railheads shining
I thought they just changed their name or something... could be wrong.
Long story. California & Oregon Coast Railway sold this stuff, then they sort of went on short hours then completely gone, and now are coming back.
Order your equipment from RLD Hobby, I did and got my air motors and parts the other day. He is a dealer for their parts.
I have 27 switches all remotely controlled by solenoid valves and DCC... it's great stuff.

I just went on the California & Oregon Coast Raiolway web site and it said "We are closed." Does anyone know of any company making a similar product at this time? I am building a gardfen railroad and want to use pneumatic switches, but I don't want to do so if no one makes this type of product any longer since getting service and parts will be increasingly difficult.
Thanks, Brooks
Stretch is making it go. He will probably concentrate on the EA-ZE Air products. The air cylinders themselves and the solenoid valves I use are from a company named Clippard, BUT the plastic castings for the air motors themselves are made by Stretch, or are OEM'd by him.
You can't find anything like this off the shelf bolt on and go.
I'm staying with Stretch and the product line, and since I just got a shipment, and I know the "back story", I'm not worried.
Greg,
I ordered some air operators and extra air line from Stretch just now. Seems like a nice guy. Said it would take 3-4 weeks.

He IS a great guy. Wish him all the success in the world. Had some hard times, getting back to speed.
