I never saw the Alder switch stand, but have a few of the Star stands, which I wish I could still get. More on that in my upcoming post on hand throws.<br />Tony ThompsonTony Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593061828601275378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218524178230712938.post-66947124700946363912012-09-24T22:30:31.935-07:002012-09-24T22:30:31.935-07:00Tony,

They were white metal, and beautiful. Alder offered a large scale switch stand that could be used to throw switches, too.<br />I was fortunate to obtain enough of his stands for my S scale layout, and used large scale stands sold by Sunset Valley RR in Washington State for use on garden railways. I've written about this solution on my own blog.
