New switch stands from Odd Duck Foundry

Post by OddDuck »

Hi folks! Just finished the first set of castings of my new 3" scale switch stands, ready for immediate shipping.

ImagePrice per switch stand is $80 US, ten sets are available. Here is a pic mocked up on a short section of 7 1/4" guage track for reference:
ImageThe pic is of the test casting, the sets for sale are unfinished, raw castings. The shaft for the target is not included.
I chose 3" scale for a combination of visibility and functionality, if I had made it in 1 1/2" scale it would have been about 4" tall on the main body. Here is some pics of the switch stand that I modeled it on:

This is on a siding in the town of Winterport, Maine and I figured that this style of switch stand could probably be found almost everywhere.
Shipping is to be determined, I haven't figured out how many will fit in a large flat rate box yet, I suspect it will be about three max. PM me or email me if interested,

Thanks!
