Default N scale ground throws?

Is there anything out there more scale looking than the caboose industries ground throws?

To get a ground throw to scale in N scale it would be quite small. There are some alternatives that I know of though.

If you're willing to mount your throw remotely you could look at Hump Yard throws. They are quite nice.

If you want an on-site throw then you can make something that will work pretty well pretty easily, though it won't help you with flipping polarity if you have a live frog. Check this out: http://www.telusplanet.net/public/cr...und_throws.htm

Hope this helps!

That's crazy enough it just might work! I am using Peco electrofrog turnouts which are supposed to be power-routing. I guess we'll see what happens!

Take a female with you when you go to buy those earing backs. You might get some strange looks if you don't!
