More ground throw

[Habbyguy]

I have looked and can not find. Does anyone know if these ground throws are made?

They are available in HO - they are about $6.50 each, I was looking at them the other day and can't remember where

Same question here in this topic

Evidently called 'backsaver switch throws'

NJ International makes the modern switch stands but they are non operating.

Seems like you convert a standard Caboose Industries ground throw by replacing the plastic handle with some brass wire formed to the right shape. Getting the indicator to work also might be a little tricky.

Sure the handle will look correct but the rest of the ground throw will not. So live with the incorrectness(if that is a word) or just use the high level switch stand ones that are more correct looking, like in the pic?

Personally...I like both the looks and utility of the high-level switch stands. They look more "railroady" to me and they are a lot easier to spot when you have several switches in close proximity.

So do I...

I'm mounting Caboose high throws on little pieces of sheetmetal so that the switch and lever can be moved as a unit.

The problem with those is they are not functioning. And I want to do my switches manually.

Actually, that guy is just selling NJ International switch stands at full retail. Mark can get you a better deal. The switch stand does operate, just the handle is fixed. You can throw the switch by turning the rod with the targets.
