Best pricing Ross and Gargrave Switches

as far as I know the price of track and switches is pretty much a set price unless a local hobby shop sells at a reduced price. sounds like an extensive layout you have planned good luck enjoy and hopefully share some photo's of your progress.

I have ordered Gargraves from my local hobby shop in the past, if you place an order for over $500.00 you will get a slight price adjustment or discount. Also the hobby shop owner said he waits until he gets a total order for over $500.00 before he orders stuff from Gargraves. This was about five years ago, so maybe the discount is there, not sure.

Also found out that in the past certain companies won't sell to a hobby shop unless they placed a minimum order of $5000.00. You got what new items they shipped to you, no choice of items.

why not go direct to the source no minimum on order you place with them and the folks are friendly and might offer a better solution to your needs! just my opinion.

Give forum member Dave (King Mouse) at Mercer Junction a call. We got 40+ Ross switches from him. www.MercerJunction.com

I am in the process of building a 3 level layout 10 x 40.  Using Gargraves sectional and flex tracks with Ross switches.  I have purchased Gargraves from Just Trains of Delaware  http://www.justrains.com/.   Ross switches purchased from JD Trains http://www.jdstrains.com/,  CT Trains http://www.cttrains.com/ross1....er%20Line%20Switches  and Cactoctin Mountain trains http://www.cmtrains.com/productsandservices.html.  Plus Dave Mercer

Good luck

Hey don't forget our own buy/sell forums.  In the last year I bought 18 GG & Ross switches at a fraction of the cost if bought elsewhere.

I have two Ross switches including motors and controllers that I'd like to sell at this time.

The first is an 054/072 LH curve and the second is an 054 RH. Please make a reasonable offer and they are yours.  I think that the two switches originally cost something like

$150-$160  They are mounted on wood so as to mate with tubular track.  I can send photos.

Thanks. Lew Schneider

I was hoping to hear from you about the Ross switches I'm offering, but I wanted to clarify my message.  My priority is to sell the 054/072 LH.  I'll sell the 054RH only if both switches are taken.  The reason is that the 054/072 blocks the space I would need for the replacement of the 054RH switch. Thanks Lew Schneider lewrail@comcast.net

Hi Anthony,

Please note that I have listed my Ross Switches for sale in the O Gauge Forum.

Take both for $100 plus shipping.  That's a big discount over today's new prices.

I am attaching the photo from the O Gauge Sales listing.

I needed one Ross switch for my layout, and refused to pay $14.00 shipping from Ross for 1-4 switches.  Instead I ordered one switch from Chicagoland Hobby and shipping was only $5.70.  I got it quickly, too. They're my new source for Ross switches.  It looks like 4 switches would be $6.15 for shipping...

Make sure you consider shipping charges as part of your total "best pricing" cost.

I have decided to keep the RH 054 switch for the time being.  But I'm still offering to sell the special 054/072 LH switch for the bargain price of $60 with Z1000 controller plus shipping.  Lew Schneider

Instead I ordered one switch from Chicagoland Hobby and shipping was only $5.70

I've been wondering how they were to deal with, thanks!

I need 2 RCS 054 left hand switches real soon.  So far I have not found any on the OGR For Sale forum.
