New Bachmann switches and ground throw

[The Devonian]

Bachmann have finally produced a 4' dia brass point/switch and a switch stand in the large scale track range.

The project stock being available in the UK May/June this year.

Too small for my railway: I would need a larger diameter, but I do like the stand as its targets are quite evident.

Did you notice the "Spring like" ends on the throw bar? Interesting.

I think that might be a weak point!

Dan, you might find the thread by Stan Ames, on LSC, interesting. It makes reference to your observation.
