Model Railroading > Armstrong modelsDate: 03/29/15 06:05 Armstrong models Author: HB90MACH Is the guy that made the Armstrong levers, the hump yard purveyence, still around? No ads in RMC where he used to advertise

The Armstrong levers are shown in the Walthers catalog for 2015 Tom Boylan Date: 03/29/15 08:38 Re: Armstrong models Author: HB90MACH The Humpyard is not listed in the manufacturers list on Walthers. Nor can I find them under Armstrong. Did he change the name?

IIRC, you have to send an email to make an order. They also list a phone number. Beware that for some reason my antivirus, spam software doesn't like the site. Perhaps it's the word "hump"? I have purchased many of them. They are a good product but expensive if you need a tower full. I have yet to paint mine and will have to experiment because it's a slippery, flexible plastic. If anyone else has had any success in painting them, please fill us in. Victor A. Baird http://www.erstwhilepublications.com Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 03/29/15 11:38 by wabash2800.

Here are the available numbers in the Walthers 2015 catalog Page 492 item # 152-388 AT $10.95 on the bottom right coroner of the page Hope this helps Tom Boylan Date: 03/29/15 19:40 Re: Armstrong models Author: wabash2800 Those are American Model Builders nonfunctioning levers to install inside an HO tower.
I got the impression that he is looking for operating levers from Hump Yard Purveyance (per my previous link). See photo below. Note, these are just a few of many ways they can be mounted. This is not my photo but rather from the website. I mounted mine linked to toggle switches rather than use the "bicycle cables". train544 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Hi > Here are the available numbers in the Walthers > 2015 catalog > Page 492 item # 152-388 AT $10.95 on the bottom > right coroner of the page > Hope this helps > Tom Boylan Edited 2 time(s).
