Hello Pascal, do you have a picture from a finished Switch Stand?

Check out Osborne models. I

Check out Osborne models. I have them all over my layout. Laser cut kits and very affordable. This is the CN version. They have others. If you're willing and able you can make the targets pivot as well. I am neither in those aspects. They look great though!

Slide Switch "Simple Reliabile"

I'm using single-pole double-throw switches to control switch direction and power the frog.  The article that inspired me was from September 2004, Model Railroader.  This approach has been perfect for my switching layout.

Details West Switch Stands

I like Details West switch stands.  I also have these connected with a tiny wire to the points, so they will turn the target when the switch is thrown.  It took a bit of work, but worth the effort. 

Glad I read ...

... this post. Thank you Steve (Pirosko) - I believe I had seen references to Osborn before, but I don't recall it being for switch stands. My need, of course, is for N scale and THEY HAVE THEM. Since my "pike" is not Canadian (and I am not also) I like their "generic" style. I am trying to negotiate with Osborn, since they price most likely in Canadian dollars and I'm not sure of the shipping cost or if they ship to U.S. Here is what I was liking:

Part # RRA-3086 (N scale), 10 to a package (kits) $6.99 plus tax. Since I have many turnouts, I need quantity.

I hope to get an email answer soon from Osborn.

Thanks again Friends!

Also for the pictures.

Correct prototype low throw for Sahwatch Street Yard

I use Bitter Creek Model company's Manual Ground Throw B-4001 available at http://www.bittercreekmodels.com

These happen to be the prototype for this 1880 yard in Colorado Springs CO which I am modeling in 1895

Glad I read ... - Update

I received a reply from Derek at Osborn Models - delay was 'cause he was at the Springfield/Amherst show. He gave me the answer to my questions about shipping and pricing - I have ordered the kit and he says he is shipping today, so, yes, he will sell and ship to Southern California. One more detail to add to the pike.

These are not manual throws - I will be using dual coil remote controls that I already have on hand. I am hoping I can link them to the turnouts so they read right. Time will tell.
