Ingenious! What did you call that bolt that the arm hinges on?

How many ways are there to throw a switch? How many of us can afford the majority of these systems ? Thanks for illustrating an affordable and simple option. My points are thrown from a control board directly off the dpdt switch thròugh fine teflon tubing with fine welding wire. The dpdt switch poweŕs the fog, asignal light on the switc stand and an indicator light on the pannel. I wanted it all but on a poor boy's budget. What a wonderful hobby to keep our minds occupied and active. I wish you and your followers success in their endeavors and most of all good health. Regards, AGH. (Elora White Lime Co.).

Great, even for O scale. I like this. Additionally, many yard switches like these are hand-thrown, so this is prototypical.

I was thinking about something like this, thank you for showing me how to make my dreams come to fruition!!! Boomer your channel is seriously one hell of a wealth of knowledge.

Wow I love these. I need something like this in my yard. I even have all the parts. Thanks for this.

That’s a great solution. I like it a lot!

Love the video. I am working on a switch throwing system like yours but I have bought a box of skewer for cooking (box had 50 in it and the cost was under 20 dollars for the entire box on Amazon. Each skewer is 36 inches long so I can make several short push rods out of each skewer making the cost almost nothing. I like the power switch set up very much. I was thinking of going a different way, but yours is easier and I already have the DP - DT switches. I like the airplane cables and the cables that Fast Track sells, but lets be honest, I'm cheep..... By the way, I just bought an air brush and will practice on the paper like you demonstrated. It formally scared me but you have made it easier to start. Thanks...

I've always used dowel. Through fascia, through at least two small bits of wood hot glued to underside of layout. Piano wire down through turnout into a hole drilled through dowel. No wiring.One of my downfalls, surprised myself when I wired layout for DCC . :-D Most of my turnouts are Peco so have the spring ( snap) across action. Yours is nicer looking :-)

smooth as silk..

I like the new Rapido Railcrew machines, they come with a switch stand which has a brass target.

Yep!Nothing more needed to be said👍🚂🚃🇨🇦

Top notch

Boomer, Can you provide any rough dimensions…height , width , length…I would like to duplicate your creation…also what thickness is your roadbed / bench work and what thickness would you feel is a max…1/2” ply plus 1” foam plus cork…any advice would be most helpful… Thank you so very much for your modeling inspiration and advice, Randy
