We have used caboose O scale sprung throws for years on our modular layout. They are excellent and the sprung feature insures positive contact. Carry a spare and if you knock one off going through set up you simply add a spare with 5 minute epoxy. By installing at the mid throw position with the handle straight up they are pretty foolproof Chuck Smith http://www.trainweb.org/chucksmith/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Lane Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 6:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; S Scale List Subject: {S-Scale List} Ground throws Hi Guys, I recently bought a bunch of the Caboose Industries O Scale sprung ground throws for my new yard module in the making. I wanted to be sure I had the needed throw. My other thoughts were possibly having sure a firm point engagement that I could power route from the points greatly saving additional wiring. Since they are modules, I have visions of blasting a ground throw during a move through a doorway. If I could just screw on a new unit without messing with wiring and a contactor, it would be MUCH better. I did not try to install any yet because there is NO track down, but on the 5 second initial look-see, they are not as massively oversized as I expected. What do ya'll think about relying on the points to carry the power? I have not been a fan of it before, but again, I am hoping to GREATLY simplify the wiring this time.
