Owned and operated by Pat Turner.  He has the old tooling from a number of former detail parts companies; unfortunately few requiring soft metal casting appear to have been re-issued.  He has added some new products of his own, including hay rolls in resin which I couldn't find elsewhere.  I have ordered from him before.

N,.J. International has a few really nice operating switch stands available... I am looking to buy some of the Lo Ramapo which I remember from my youth all lit up nice and perdy on the L.A. Jct. Ry. towards dusk and at night.  Would be really nice lit up...

I've got a few of these when I was looking for operating switch stand waaaaay back when.  They've got an extra thick coat of paint on 'em and they appear to be too big all the way around...but smaller than HO scale switchstands.  Maybe the new paint is more carefully applied, but none of these are as nice as the old Sequoia Models/Turner Model Works Styrene injection-molded ones (if they were only available).

Think I'm going down to the workshop right now and put together my brass castings, take a few photos and post 'em.

Later!....
