Another Lurker Steps Out

General Discussion
#1

Greetings to all!
I’ve been a lurker on LSC for a number of years - I’m not sure why I never joined in the fun. Anyway, as luck would have it, Rodney put his email address on his K27 re-gear thread and I emailed him, we chatted a bit and I drove up to the KC area to visit. Besides his re-gear project, he had all the tooling for a number of turnouts, Y’s and of course, his crossover. I’m pretty sure that my crying and begging helped, but Rodney was kind enough to build me a Stub Switch. I’ve always liked
these switches, as they seemed easier and cheaper to build and sometimes took up less room. I took some pics and as I am
feeling rather too lazy to figure out how to post pics , they’re on Rodney’s site here:

Hmm-how to make that a hot link?

Anyway, a belated big thanks to many of the folks here that provide tips and tricks on how to
get’er done. Bruce, Bruce, Dave, Tony, on and on…

Welcome, John.
If you use Window$, this should help with posting pictures.
Very simple, really.

They are cheaper and easier to build. I have 3 that I built on my layout, one being a 3-way.

And welcome!!

Thanks to all for the real warm welcome! Wow!
Yeah, I’ll get after the pic posting - its just that I spend quite a bit of time in front of 'puters, so I tend to take the easy way out.

tac - you mean these? http://www.nosler.com/ - I can only wish.
