<p>Is it just me or are some instructions better than others? (Don't get me started!)</p><p>I am trying to set up the nice Caboose Industries High Level switchstand 204S, manually operated groundthrow used with nice Walthers/Shinohara #6 switches, er, turnouts but I can't get to second base. <grin></p><p>These are the throws with the different interface thingies for different brands of switches. A 90 degree thing for one, two rods for a second, one rod for a third, and a rectangle thing with a part missing for a fourth. </p><p>I cannot for the life of me get the thingie I need to use into the throw arm. The thingie has a T-shaped bar opposite the interface that fits into a slot of the throw arm. So far so good. </p><p>But the thingie also has a peg on the top side, opposite the T-shaped bar, that appears to fit into a hole in the throw arm and keep the thingie in place tightly once it is installed; otherwise, the thingie would just fall out the first time it was pulled. </p><p>How do you get the thingie with its T bar <u>and</u> the peg into the rectangular slot that is just big enough for the T bar but not with the peg?</p><p>I may just throw the thingie away and connect with a nice wire. Wire I understand. Thingies with T bar slots and pegs, not so much.</p><p>Bill Rowe</p><p>Chico, CA </p>
