Need help on O72 Fastrack switches

banelsonOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Hi all:

It has been almost 5 years since I have had a layout, but I now have some space to build something a little larger than I used to have. I am planning to reuse my fastrack but with wider radius track and O72 switches. Because the layout is larger I would like to use "command" if possible. It has been a while since I shopped for switches, and I wanted to know what I should be looking for. What is the most up to date version of the 072 switch and is "command" the way to go?

I really appreciate the guidance.

Thanks,

Ben

I only have a layout on the floor but it is all fastrack. I have 12 command switches and I have not had any problems with them. I did have one switch that the switch was wired wrong for non derail feature. It would derail any car that started to pass over it. I sent it into Lionel and it was rewired properly when it returned. To me command is the only way to go as I program my sensor track to throw switches as needed.

Does anyone know the serial number for the most recent version of the O72 command switch?
