HO Ground Throw Sprung set of (5)
I am using a DC wiring approach as I did 35 years ago. I will be returning to HO model railroading after raising four children to independent adulthood, multiple simultaneous careers as a 33 year in the Army (3 combat deployments), 25 years teaching as a public school teacher in a Trenton suburb, and thirteen years in Healthcare Administration. Yes, I am now "retired" and searching for what I want to do when I grow up? or, back down again....... These manual switches work great on my under the platform, gigantic staging area for ten full trains. They are just the right size and easily fasten to the base wood and cork bed that I will be using. They are the perfect design and work well with my Code 83 track "switches", yep, even still use that term. I have purchased around 60 of these to date! Love them!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

If you want manual throws - these work great
These are a little oversized compared to scale, but they work wonderfully for me and I love that they can be installed in far less space than the Atlas switch machines and look pretty good - even if too big.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

" old school " analog modeler and operator. 50's theme Southern Pacific branch line.
Sometimes, reaching over and throwing your own turnouts makes this modeler feel like he is actually "operating" a 50's era HO scale model railroad and these are the best !Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Caboose Industries Ground Throws
A useful and practical way to positively throw a turn out on your model railway. With an overcentre movement the blades are held in the desired position with positive pressure which helps greatly with electrical continuity in the rails. Ground throws are an excellent, practical, simple idea whilst being very economical are worth their weight in gold to the astute model railroaderVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
