Thank you, Marty and TOC. I am a real novice at this, but I do know that ground throws work very well for me in N scale. My wife and I are buying a new home, and with her able assistance, I'm looking forward to building our first garden railroad. Hoot

Or until some visitor, animal, branch, or errant frisbee takes them and the head ties out.
I have absolutely NO upright stands on the CCRy, and there are about 75 turnouts.
Tenmille Ground Throws work best.

I think Lagas creek has them for $20 bucks. i have a couple of used ones I'm not using because guest have to much trouble with them. I liked them until someone did not know how to use them.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.
