Silver Creek stub switches

I wanted at least two stub switches. Especially the wye switch, turnout no. 7 should be a stub switch. With a stub switch the "throw bar" is not at the "point". And this switch is placed at the end of the module! With a stub switch I get the "throw bar" away from the module end.

Here you see switch no. 6, the switch to the mine spur. This switch will get a "3 position switch stand for stub switches". Therefore there's only one 16'6'' long tie.

Down under! Here's my "throw bar". You can use any throw bar actuation, Blue Point Turnout Controller, Fast Tracks Bullfrog, what you want. I need only a switch, brass rods and some small material, very less expensive.

BTW, that's our dog in the background.

The first train to Silver Creek

The first two cars are built from kits and modified.

... and a lot of lead.

With 30' these cars should weight 65 g (2.3 ounces) following NMRA RP-20.1 Car Weight.
