Switchstands
Author: LarryDoyle

Working switchstands, that is.

Obtainied a batch of G scale Sunset Valley lost wax + built up switchstand.  These things are a work of art.  I modified a few of them with a chevron target and added illuminated lanterns to stand-in for stands of my favorite road, the Milwaukee.

Here, we see the operation of a couple of those modified switchstands.

That is cool . .  and your layout looks great . .  the only issue is your hands are out scale . . . . :).

Nice work.

Craig,
"Out of Scale". I'm sure that's what Jerry Seinfeld was thinking about during his date with the woman with man-hands. 

John, 
Way to spruce-up switches! I've always liked those high stands and yours "throw like butter".

John, nice job here!  Only thing, if I was a crewman in a loco and I saw a hand coming toward the tracks like that, I'd be for bailing from the cab in no time.  "Hookdragkick" has it right...they throw like butter!
