    I'm going for looks. Im no operator by any means so I'm thinking Precision Scale. I'm not against scratchbuilding but I like the looks of the PS switch stand. Thanks for all the input folks. This is an invaluable forum!

    Jim, et all,

    Take a look at NJ International's switch stands. These are 1911-1915 variants of Star and Ramapo's. Here is the link: NJ Int'l Switch Stands

    These look size appropriate and are reported as being totally functional.

    Nice. I like the 1912 branchline. It just looks right. I might just order two of those.

    Yeah, I like the 1912 as well. I'm going to look into the 1912 and the 1913. Short for the off main switches, and tall for the main line switches. I hope this helps you Jim. Keep up the good work! More pics!

    Jim, et all,

    I just picked up a 1912 switch stand. I'll take pics and post up when it arrives. I'm going to need one more of those, and eight of the 1913's to complete the S.A.F&N. Look forward to you getting these and putting them on the Zelma Branch.

    Cheers!

    I received an email from NJ International this evening. 1912's are in stock (low siding) but the 1913's are ETA 30-60 days out. I'm ordering them tomorrow to lock in my needs.

    Hey Jim,

    All the ground throws arrive tomorrow. I'll post up some pics and complete what we talked about.

    Hey Jim,

    I received your NJ International switch stands today. They are absolutely gorgeous. They are going out in tomorrow's mail. I've PM'd you the details. I can't wait to see these on the Zalma Branch. You should think about adding the 1917 Derail for added realism. I've got those too and they are beautiful. They are on high switch stands, with blue targets. Awesomeness!
