Easy Manual Turnout Control Without Touching Your Rails

Strong, self-lubricating black Delrin ground throws with external cam for strength and maximum throw. Molded on pin for direct mounting. All 100 series (Rigid) stands require modelers to fabricate a spring connecting link between the stand and the turnout. All 200 series units (Sprung) have internal springs so they can be connected directly to the turnout throwbar. Measurements indicate the maximum amount of side-to-side travel when the lever is thrown.
 
Operating high level switch stand is based on prototypes used by many roads. Working parts are Delrin. Also includes six targets, nonworking lantern and square diamond made of ABS plastic. Manual target can be adapted to work from an electric switch machine (sold separately) below the benchwork. .190" travel. Kits now include a shim to raise the stand to tie level, along with five different fittings for use with most turnouts, including Atlas, Roco, Peco, Micro Engineering and Shinohara.
