Check the Caboose Industries website. They carry a wide variety of ground throws. Russ -- Russ Norris, MMR Cape Cod, Massachusetts http://blacklogvalleyrailroad.blogspot.com/

Jim, Interesting variation on manual turnout controls. 2 questions... How do you support the long throw rod over long distances, under the sub roadbed? How are you attaching the small hand thrown

My disclaimer is that I hand lay all my track and I mount my Caboose Industries ground throws remotely on the edge of the layout with all linkage operating from below thee roadbed. However, the way I

Thanks, Dave, that’s a very good idea, about the wire or thread thru the spring. And, yes, outer space is getting way too cluttered, so I will do m part to reduce the clutter. 😀 Mike Van Hove
