I was hoping there might be some "old hands" out there. I have several old telegragh key's from the railroads. They have little brass plates on them with the railroads name ingraved on them. One that I have say's P.C.R.R. on it but it needs new contacts. The contacts are made out of nickel. I was hoping someone can give me a heads up on were I can get some new ones. The key's that the railroads used are fine crafted and well balanced. I use them quite often on my Ham radio rig. <br /> Question, did conductors need to know code? I seen a picture of a caboose sitting at a siding with wires hooked to the telegragh pole? If a train was out switching for any lenth of time, was communications required through the telegragh? <br /> TIM A
