Its time to add those details to complete the scene. One of those details is a means to move the turnouts. At Ackerville the main siding switches are set by the dispatcher everything else is hand thrown.

My switch stands are a Canadian laser wood kit from Osbournes. Each switch stand has 7 parts, it’s a pretty simple kit that’s just a case or wash rinse repeat until you have built them all. All I used to build these was a knife with fresh blade, pva glue and a cut mat.

Once the top and bottom are assembled the metal part attaches to the ties.

Well we are Done, the assembled switch stand it’ll get some paint in the next part of this series.
