Switch Stands

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I am using Atlas #4 Left/Right turnouts throughout my layout (HO - late 50’s early 60’s). These turnouts will be thrown via electrical switches connected to Tortoise Slow Motion Switch machines.

Can you recommend a really good quality/detailed switch stand which would connect to my turnouts and be operated when the Tortoise throws the switch? It does not have to be a lighted type, in fact I like the none lighted type with the red and green indicators.

I look for to reading your recommendations.

Thanks,
Trevor

NJ International probably has the best selection and detail.
You might want to research as to which type of switch stands, and where they were used, on the prototype you’re modeling.
However, there doesn’t seem to be much of a selection for working switch stands in HO.

I’ve been shopping for working harp switch stands and only Precision Scale makes them.
