Chuck Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I came across one of these ART-11298 Slow Motion switch machines and tried it out. Man-O-Manischewitz... How come I never ran across these in years past? I've been in large scale over 20 years now and somehow these slipped by me. Price wise they beat the heck out of LGB or Pikos switch machines as the Aristo brand has a set of contacts built in to power a frog or signal etc. LGB or Piko that's a add-on piece, Damn shame Aristo is gone and Bachmann doesn't seem interested in these switch machines. I was using USA #6 switches with those twin coil switch machines but those are a bit of a pain to keep working. And they "snap" so hard that parts go flying off them sometimes such as the cover that hides the manual lever thingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwy Nick Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Chuck, now that is nice, and realistic. Many Many years ago while on lunch I used to watch them 'hump' at the yard in Elizabeth, and that is how they used to work. That is realistic.

TechSavvy1 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I have a bunch of brand new Aristo slow motion switch machines if someone wants to buy them at my cost (Trainworldonline cost) plus shipping. vawoodhick@msn.com. Yes, these are great because they integrate a spdt switch for auxiliary use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
