who makes the best modrn switch stands in HO scale. I need 2 for my layout. Era 1985-2005
Are you needing working switch stands to operate turnouts, or just for detail decoration?
-Kevin
Just detail. I dont mind if they dont move!
Details West makes these three.
Someone else will need to chime in with verification that they meet your era needs. I just don’t know what modern switch stands look like.
-Kevin
NJ International dose.
I imagine you’re looking for the ergonomic, safety lever such as the type here:

I haven’t seen these available in HO. Probably easy enough to form out of some .015 or .020 bronze wire then glued in place?
Good luck, Ed
Thats exactly what I was looking for! Too bad those are the real deal
Apparently, NJ International makes the switch stand you are looking for, but they are out of stock at Walthers and at this hobby shop:
And as Ed mentioned, it shouldn’t be too hard to form this handle out of a thin strip of brass and modify an existing switch stand.
