manual ground throws (HO SCALE)

Posted by UNIONPACIFIC4018 on Wednesday, July 6, 2005 12:43 PM

So my new layout is a 2 foot wide shelf I will be able to access all of the turnouts except 2 or 3 out of 20
I am thinking using manual throws would be better and more cost effective
which ones would any of youse guys reccomend?
reliable operation is a must

thanks

I knew I should have asked before I bought all those Caboose! That is a very neat design.
