Piko R5 switch

Has anyone used one of these it is a replacement for the aristo wide rad. switch, if so what have you found? To me it looks likes it has some of the same down falls as the aristo. example the guardrail is to wide. but for $50 new it is fixable.

I have used both the r5 & r7. I think they are a little more robust than the Aristo. Stock switch lever is a little different than Aristo. Similar to a European I think? I don’t use them I put a manual aftermarket throw on them. Also the rail joiners are similar to LGB. They are formed to the rail. IMHO For the money they are good performers.
