4. A switch stand lined
and locked for the normal
(straight) position. The
target is parallel to the
fascia.
Realistic switch control - 3
(actually, a rod and a sleeve) used in the radio-controlled air-
craft hobby. They would work beautifully with the Sunset Valley
switch stands.
The switch stands provide positive locking at both extremes
of the throw, and I control frog polarity on my layout using
Frog Juicers
from Tam Valley Depot
.
I
built the BullFrogs without the microswitch or ball and spring
that provide those functions in the switch machine itself. I
gave those parts back to Fast Tracks owner Tim Warris the
next time I saw him.
5. The same switch
stand unlocked and
lined for the diverging
route. The target is now
perpendicular to the
fascia.
