Hey guys, I saw these yellow ground throws a while back and haven't seen them since. They are simply a yellow handle almost like a rounded inverted triangle. The Boston Line over here has them as does the Pioneer Valley RR. I don't know where I saw them or what name they would have.

Any thoughts?
 
I know what you're talking about, and I've seen them on ebay before, but there doesn't appear to be any on there right now.

NJ International makes them but I dont think they are operational. They are called backsaver switch stands.

Yeah just did a couple quick searches. They are definetely decorative only. Bummer. I guess you could still throw the switch normally and these would look right.
