@Craftech posted:I don't want to spend a fortune on the seven 036 switches for a for a five year old, but I read that the Fastrack manual switch levers break off and his parents don't have room for remote controls. They barely have room to store a 4 x 8 layout in their apartment.
I contacted Caboose Industries and they said that it Is nearly impossible to retrofit the Fastrack switches with their manual switch and not worth the trouble.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

The manual switches are not difficult to operate when the flag breaks off. You can epoxy something else on for the lever. You can probably find the manual switches with broken flags cheaper than others. 5 year olds need some guidance to begin anyway - they pick up on how to switch it when they see an older person do it.
