PLEASE SHOW PICS of your switches

I'm about to build a small On30 layout using ME Code 83 track and switches. I've decided not to use switch throws at the switch, but instead I'm using a 6 lever frame and wire in tube to manually throw them from a central point.

They are neat kits made of brass, and are made here in Australia.

Here is their address: www.modratec.com.au

Dave, I like that. I use ground throws for turnouts near the edge of my layout.

Dave

That is a really neat system for manual switch throws.

The hobby seems to always get better options for building the layout.

I use manual throws, not all at the edge of the layout, in the freight yard. Would have been great to have had this product 15 years ago.

Two questions.

Do they have a distributor  here in the USA?

Do the ship to the USA and take PayPal?

BTW Thank you for the heads up on this product line.

Dave - Very interesting system.  If you have the time I would love to see some updates as you install the system.

Is it possible to do a moderately sized layout with control at one location?

I noticed a software section on their website, what is the purpose of the software?

I have to study the website, there are terms that I need to understand.  Watching "Thomas the Tank Engine" has helped with the terminology.

check this site for "hump yard purveyance"

They do ship to the US. They do take Paypal, they are very quick. My order was in my hands in 24 hours.

They have some pretty large lever frames, for any size system, it can also do signaling, and can be interfaced electrically, so you can use it to work pneumatic systems as well. The software is, I think to design the interlocking.

I forgot to mention, yes, I will post progress on this little layout, and submit it to Allan for possible inclusion in this magazine.

Also, I assembled my 6 lever frame yesterday, it was quite easy to do, the instructions are good, and it only took about 45 minutes.

Thanks Dave

Great info ! I will check into it .

I thought about caboose throws . They are lower cost verses electric throws .

Thanks again

Thanks for the info!
