In 2023/24 we undertook a project to redesign our switches to make them more reliable, maintainable and easy to use. The switches engineered by Bill Boller are designed to work with kick switches, or with a local switch stand, or optionally one may attach to a remote stand for use in high use areas without getting off a train.
The completed design is uniquely our own, built upon experience from other clubs and ours. We also built/machined new switches ourselves. While the design looks like many that came before, the complete operation is easy and sure.
Our switch stands now support bright colored directional indicators. We are in the process of both replacing older switches and installing switches on new track currently being installed. Every new switch will receive a new switch stand and a color coded indicator.
We are happy to share this new technology with fellow clubs around the world.
