I'm sending out an SOS on this one. I'm looking for a particular prototype switch stand in "O" scale (see the link below). I've Googled all of the ususal suspect; NJ IN'TL, TOMAR, Precision Scale, any place I get a hit on the words "switch stand". But I'm pretty much coming up empty. I'm hoping one of you might have similar machines on your layout and be able to recommend a source.

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain! On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!
In O scale you may be scratch building this one. I have seen similar ones in HO but with a solid tapered base. This looks do-able with brass angles and wire. It would be prety rugged also.

I pray every day I break even, Cause I can really use the money!
I started with nothing and still have most of it left!
I beleive that's called a Seirra style stand. This company lists one in O scale, but no picture.http://www.osorail.com/Evergreen_Hill_Designs/Evergreen_Hill_Designs.html
Look under Evergreen Hill detail parts. I beleive it's non working though.

It does look like a potential scratchbuilding project. Unfortunately I need 4 of them, and I'm up against something of a deadline on this project. So the last thing I need is another item to complete on the "punch list".
Lothar, thanks for the link. I knew I'd seen something like it somwhere I just couldn't recollect which manufacturer it was. I just wish I could find a picture of that brand somewhere, the best I can find is the manufacturer's drawing. I don't need operating switch stands, the turnouts themselve will be activated via an under-the-table mechanism. Still it would have been nice to have stands that could change aspect as the turnout was thrown.
After looking at the prototype photo, I guess we all understand why they call them "target" signals.
