...the 5132/5133 were made in Mount Clemens, Michigan and they're easily repaired. I don't really know how or why they got renumbered, they're the same as the O22s.

It may look like MPC/Fundimensions goofed when they assigned "5022", the natural postwar -> MPC 4 digit catalog number for related/similar carried over items, to the redesigned O-27 manual switch some 10 years+ prior to the reissue of the 022 "O" remote switch.
To be fair, though, it is also the natural postwar -> MPC 4 digit catalog number for the postwar 1022 O-27 manual switch.
Dealing with both 3 digit and 4 digit postwar numbers, something had to give... MPC could have used "2022", except the "2" was usually used on accessories, "5" on track items, and numbers in the "2" range would start to get confused with postwar locomotives.

Say what?
