I'm trying to find them and can't come up with a name. I've tried looking them up on the Internet and can't find them there on what there called. I've been trying to find the little Manual Switch Thrower Machines, if that's what you call them, that go with GarGrave and Ross Track Manual Switches. The question I ask is, what are they acctually called and are they sold separetely?

I believe caboose industries used to supply manual switch throws that are easy to mount on gargraves and ross switches, you may find them at either the gargraves or ross websites.
they are called ground throws. I have the ones Caboose industries makes.
How about "Tortoise (Turtle) Switch Machines"...

My parents once had a tv that had an automatic tuner (it had a motor and would rotate the tuner if you pushed a button on the tv) My dad invented the first remote control for this switch. It was called a "stick". Maybe this would work for your manual switches. 
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP SO FAR!! This helps me out a lot. If people have more ideas or responses, then please post.
The Caboose Ind. ground throws work great.....as long as you can reach them 
Would any manual ground throws work on manual Fastrack Switches?

Not as well as the factory switch stands.
I only use my switches in manual mode. My motto - manual is more hands on and keeps you moving around and is a bit more realistic. Plus, I'm a strong believer in never put a switch where you can't reach it so no need to wire it up and curse when an engine derails or something.
All of my switches are Ross with Caboose Industries ground throws.
You can find them at Charles Ro in Mass. under the Gargraves Track and accessories offerings.... Item # GG913 for $2.95 each
