Hey all,

While at the NMRA show this past July I was talking with a few people about the custom switches I make and I was given a challenge. In short the challenge was to make these:



Now that I have some free time I would like to take on this challenge but I need your help. Knowing that the modifications are going to be very challenging I do not want to use new switches. Rather I would prefer to use broken and or damaged switches for the first prototypes. This is where I need your help.

If you happen to have broken or damaged switches your willing to donate or if your willing to sell them for a nominal fee please email me at:
