How do folks hide or otherwise minimize the big boxy mechanisms on switches? Even the manual switches have fairly large and unrealistic mechanisms.
Hi Ray
I don’t it makes them easy to get at for clearing dirt ants or anthing else that finds its way into them.
I dont find them that visualy offensive the Aristocraft ones are ***ed anoying don’t know whats taking them but the lanterns keep disapearing.

There’s a couple scale switch stands. Some just remove the switch machine and work the points by hand.
Around here most switching is done using 0-5-0 switching controlers.
Have a look at my website www.gscalechuffchuff.com and you can see how you can hide them under buildings. Thats one advantage of making your own.

dude im all ho no other stuff i mite buy ogauge tho
I would be careful about hiding or doing anything else with switch motors as the mechanical effort is just adequate to d o the job once you have all the effects of mother nature slowing them up.
