JZ Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Before I set about making my own, I wondered what there is available in manual point switches. I know GEM made some, but all I remember about these was them having an Omega wire, I don't recall how they latched or anything else about their design. Are there any others available, or even the GEM ones. I've made wire-in-tube before for Peco points, but this time I need latching ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Ron Ron Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Blue Point manual turnout controllers. Latching done in the turnout "motor". Inbuilt switches with 2 sets of connections for frog polarity, operating signals or panel lights. Edited December 3, 2020 by Ron Ron Ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may wish to do what I am about to do - an idea unashamedly borrowed from a modeller 'down-under'.

Barclay Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) That is genius ! The Double throw slider switches I do use, together with wire-in-tube, and I can wholeheartedly recommend them for 100% reliable switching of the polarity.
