Caboose Ind 204S Operating Groundthrow Problem

<p>Thanks, John.</p><p>I actually figured the part about removing the tab on the switch throw bar out. </p><p>The 204S style groundthrow is one with different attachments ("thingies" I call them) for different switches. One side of an attachment goes into the throw bar of the switch (where I cut off the tab as you describe); the other side goes into the ground throw's throw bar. So the ground throw's throw bar is connected to the thingie and the thing is connected to the switch throw bar. </p><p>The thingie to the ground throw's throw bar side is a T shape with a peg on top. This part fits into a rectangular hole with a slot for the T part and a hole opposite for the peg part.</p><p>The trick is how to get that part in when the peg stops it from going in. Once in, it would be fine and locked in place, but how can one get that in with the peg in the way?</p><p>In the stock photo below I am talking about the lower left hand corner, where you see the connection to the ground throw throw bar. </p><p><a href="http://walthers.com/prodimage/79929086/74730293527289.gif">[img]http://walthers.com/prodimage/79929086/74730293527289.gif[/img]<br /></a> </p>
