Puting throwbars on double slip switches

If this is the first if of my posts you are reading please read my other posts first.  Start at the beginning as it were.

i built my first slip switch last summer.  Using a Fast Tracks #8 double slip switch jig I built two single slip switches and two turnouts.  These were the first bits of track I'd ever built by hand.  I was truly impressed.  So much so that I decided I'd build all my turnouts from now on. 

Almost Running Time!

I have the last few posts up about the last bridge and the last bit of track work!  Now I can run my trains!

Swapping the Atlas switch throw

I saw a video in the last month that showed how to flip the throw of an Atlas turnout. I think Arthur Houston produced it.

Can someone share the link?

18" Gage Layout

This is My Buddy's 18" gage, 12" to the 1', Mine layout. It is located in Norther Nevada, on a 40 acre ranch. As you can see it's a point to point layout. Main line is about 40' long. No timetable. Full one way, empty the other. All equipment is operational.
