OPERATING GROUND THROWS

All offer these advantages:

  • Molded of strong, self-lubricating black delrin.
  • External cam provides maximum life and travel.
  • Cam design provides lock on both ends of the throw from 10º above horizontal to the extreme down position.
  • Direct connection to the turnout through a pin on the slide bar.
  • Detent to assist in holding the handle horizontal.

The 200S series are internally sprung stands.  Stainless steel springs take up the overtravel and maintain tension to hold the movable points agianst the stock rails of the turn out.  These springs make the machines easy to mount to the turnout.

The 210S has operating targets...even numbers 1 thru 9 are included so yard tracks can be numbered.  The ground throw is assembled ready for use and ABS target parts are included for the modeler to assemble the display.

High Levels


 

 

This operating high level swich stand is patterned after the type used by the Milwaukee Road and many other railroads.  The stand is made of delrin and is supplied with ABS targets.

Look at these features:

  • Choice of 5 different end connectors for easy connection to most turnout.
  • A connector receptacle on either end of the slide bar permits selective mounting positions for the most favorable handle swing.
  • A stop and lock at both ends of the throw.
  • 180º handle rotation turns the target 90º through small gears.
  • Six paintable, bondable ABS tarets - including a lantern and square/diamond - select your favorites.  Packaged seperately for easy storage until needed. Modeler must assemble.
  • Enough .025" dia (#22 wire) rod for an eght foot high target. Cut to your desired length.
  • Provisions made so targets can be made to operate from below the table on electrically controlled turnouts.  Modeler must fabricate own linkage.

Like our ground throws, the high levels are available either with the rigid or the internally sprung slide bar.  In the 204S, internal stainless steel springs will take up the overtravel and maintain tension to hold the poinst against the stock rails of the turnout.  The internal springs make the model 24S easy to mount to any trunout.  103R requires modeler to fabricate a spring link between trunout and switch stand.
