I bought them on Ebay along with a huge amount of other stuff and these came with it. I have no idea what they could be. Maybe someone else has an idea.

the bigger pieces are remote control switch stands with interlocking control boxes; used on the mainlines where the dispatcher can remotely throw the switch. there is a throw bar for the ground crews to manually throw the swith too, but only with the dispatcher’s permission.
the smaller pieces look like bump stops. not sure with the picture angles.
The rust-coloured ones look to be models of electric switch motors, as used by the prototype, while the yellow parts appear to be wheel stops, usually used at the end of a siding or spur.

Power switch motors, with junction boxes and wheel stops.
Thanks guys. I now see the hand throws for the switches.
Mike
Sweet lookin switch motors![tup]
Aren’t those mounted on the ties wrong though??
I don’t know. I wasn’t evev sure what the heck they were till now. Since they do not function were they just placed in the correct position.

If you’re referring to whether they should go “crosswise” or “lengthwise”, they’re right the way they are.
