K-Line switches

I am looking for two (2) K-Line 0-27 switches, Model no. K-0275. K-Line does not have them in stock and told me that they were back-ordered and to expect shipment in spring of 2005. Well here it is already almost fall and still no switches. I have been sending e-mails to different dealers/hobby shops in the hope that I can find them. I need to replace two Loionel switches that don’t work. My Hudson locomotive stops in them and the switch then just buzzes as if it is trying to change positions. I have them hooked up for constant power, not track power. The other K-Line switches I have on my layout don’t give me any trouble at all.

I would check eBay for the switches. There is a K-Line Model No. K-276 auction there now. You may get lucky and eventually find the K-275’s.

Are you using 027 track? Another switch to try may be GarGraves, you will need mating pins but the track will match the rail size of 027 just right.

I bought 12 of the 27" variety at Imperial Trains near Pittsburgh. You might want to try them.
