Does anyone have any step by step photos, drawings - anything that visually shows how a 220s caboose industries switch stand goes together?  I have 9 each that I need to assemble.  Instructions are "too wordy" for me.  Thanks folks.

There was some discussion about it here a while back.

It has been a few years since I've installed mine, as noted in the above thread. Once you do one you will get the feel for it and the next one will go better and quicker.

Good Luck, Ed

Ed,

After looking at the photo by trying to see the back side, and then reading back through your instructions, I managed to get it together.  Yes, once one is done, the rest are easy.  I am usually pretty good at this stuff, but I really scrtached my head on this for a good while.  Thanks for your help  It got me over the hump.  Don't know what I would have done without this forum, either.

I used these on my last layout and they worked very well.  The initial one was a challenge until I finally figured out how it snapped together.
