- Sparky107107 asked me to do a video no the Caboose Industries switch stands showing how to get the flags/targets to turn. I'm not sure this will answer his questions but I offer it as "how I do it."
Great tutorial,tiny parts are a pain,lots of patiance,and take your time,great video David.
Thank you Ray. I need to find a spot to use them now. Cheers, David.
Great job with the assembly video David. Other tools needed on the workbench are a large bottle of patience and a rag soaked with manual dexterity. Thanks for showing us (and Sparky) that perseverance leads to success. Art...
Hello Art. My bottle of patience dried up and like toilet paper, everyone's been hoarding it so there's none left and my manual dexterity is old and seized up and I cannot find anymore at a price I'm prepared to pay. So nowadays when patience runs thin and dexterity turns to all thumbs, I just go and take a nap. Considering that I haven't looked at one of those in 30+ years, I think it went together ok. I just need to find a spot to use them. Take care, David.
Very good lesson. 👍Hope sparky will be able to complete his switch stands.🧐Cheers Andy🤠
Yes Andy, I shall be checking on Sparky to see if he has success. Cheers, David.
Tiny parts, however the end result is very good. Thanks for sharing this, very useful.
Hi, yes, tiny and slippery. I used that old one on a layout over 30 years ago but I have not put any on my current layout yet. I may do that as a follow up to this video. David.
brilliant video David.
Thanks John, take care. David.
Wow after this I love my Kato switches. Great build David, thanks for sharing. Dave
Hi Dave, these are not for everyone, I prefer the ground throws myself rather than the switch stands. I probably will use these somewhere though. David.
well I am glad it is not just me that has a hard time getting the tiny parts all together.
Thank you very much David
rename your video to fit the project now, I am sure many people have the same problems.
Are you serious about changing the title? I kind of did this tongue in cheek as I don't really have much problem with them, I've now built two in 35 years! lol.
You might get more views if you title it. How to build a caboose hobbies ground throw with targets
@@sparky107107 OK, I'll try it.
Hello David, pretty intricate work there, a great accessory, what useful items to have on the layout. All the best to you
Hi Jonathan, very tiny parts made of Delrin engineering plastic which is so slippery, so fiddly work for sure but they work and look good on the layout. Regards, David.
Good demonstration David my friend, hope it works out for Sparky
Hi Digger, yes, I hope sparky can get his markers working. David.
Good job David
Thank you Michael, Now to find a spot for them and put them to use. Regards, David.
good morning Davis very nice video enjoyed very much stay safe all the best al 😁🚂🚂👍👍
Hi Al, it's a little more complicated than the British point levers but these do actually work. Take care, David.
@@trainsontuesday 👋😁👍🚂
I haven't seen my workbench in years...can't even recall what colour it is or what it is made of. Your tidyness is admirable. Then again you probably never lose anything and probably why I have at least two of every tool because I lose them, replace them and then find the original.... Mark
Ha, ha. You didn't hear me say it was always like that , "in my dreams" 😂 and if you look carefully you'll see I have two of everything on there. I have right handed screw drivers for tightening screws and left handed screw drivers for loosening screws lol. I even have a second work bench similarly equipped. It actually took me a full day to clean off the work bench before doing that video. Sparky did a live show asking how people keep their layouts and work benches clean. Most of us are the same it turns out but one answer I liked for the layout was "make sure you are always running trains." That keeps the junk out of the way. I do "lose" stuff and many whole days have been spent looking for things. Take care Mark, David.
Definitely looks a bit fiddly but a great looking item.
Oscar
Hello Oscar. That was a completely "live" build when I have not looked at one in over 30 years. I'm pleased with how it went and I think that without interruptions, I could now put them together in about 5 minutes each. They are really good for "hands on" point control. I am using a somewhat different version called a "ground throw" but I will add these ones to the layout one day I expect.
Regards, David.
Nice display of patience and persistence David. Very nice bit of detail for switches as well. I wonder if you pay $1 more would they come ready to use. Steven.
Hi Steven, Patience was needed that day. I had several lengthy phone calls and the police were running around in full swat gear with a massive German Shepard dog which made for some distracting entertainment. It was just training for the dog so no worrying situation. Anyway, those switch stands come essentially assembled. It's just that in real life there are many variations depending on the particular use and these models come with parts covering most applications. It's not a bad little thing to put together, the first one might take a bit of time but if you did a few at once, I think it would be just a matter of minutes each.
David.
good vid keep up the good work
Thanks Lee.
Nice vid David 😎👌 is that chicken soup in the mug 😉
Thanks Fred, I had a lot of interruptions, mostly phone calls, and it took 3 mugs of coffee to get it done. Each one somehow got weaker than the last. lol.
