Ground Throw For Atlas CustomLine Switches?

[Anonymous]

I use the #218 ground throws for mine. I am using code 100 Atlas Customline switches now and I use the fitting that has a little pin on it. I cut most of the throwbar on the switch off and drill a hole in the solid portion.

202s works every time, with atlas #6 no modification necessary, with #4 all you have to do is make hole in throw bar slightly larger.(code 83 track)

There is a nice description of installing a Caboose Industries Ground Throw on an Altas CustomLine turnout in the NMRA 'Introduction to Model Rialroading' pages at: http://www.nmra.org/beginner/ground_throw.html

CI 202 (Sprung) works for me. [:)]

I might add that it easy to make "linkages" from piano wire (available at your LTS) that run under the switch if you need to place the throw opposite the throw-bar or further from the track.

Jim;

Any of these can be made to work; I would go with the longer travel rigid, and fabricate the spring as part of the linkage.

Does anyone know which of the ground throws is good to use with Atlas CustomLine Switches?

Thanks
