I know this is an old thread, but just wondering how these hold up in the long run.  I plan on using them a lot.

I could make the high levels from HO work.  Wondering if they would hold up as well as the 3 rail ground throws?

Have been using them 17 years without a problem.

Great product.

Add my 15 years to Charlie's 17.  They continue to work great.  One thing I do is paint the top of the arm and block on the end red when the switch is thrown to "reverse" and green when the switch is thrown to "normal."  In a town with several switches, I can tell at a glance whether they are set for normal running.

You guys are talking the Ground throws as opposed to the high levels right.  I think I can make a high level work on a Ross turnout.

My experience is with the 208s ground throws.

I love them. I put a drop of red and green paint on the handles to indicate which way the points are thrown.


I also use a rail spike as a stop so the handle can't travel past horizontal.

yo big boy I like that spike idea will give it a try. 

thanks

Been using them for years with no problem, even placed away from the immediate area of the switch. Floral stem wire from a craft store can be used to connect the switch to the throw. It's strong, about the size of 18 gauge, bends easily with small pliers and can be 'hidden in plain sight'.  Rich

They are great. Easy to install, trouble free operation, and very durable. I've never had any trouble with them, in any scale, that I didn't cause my self. 

Thanks for the input.  The rail spike trick is a great idea as is the paint.
