Well I almost bought these if that counts. I noticed these old home made switches on Ebay and was really intrigued with the work someone had done to make them from the cutting and soldering of the rails and frogs to the wiring to the neat tin actuator housings made from cigar tins and oil cans. Seller was selling them as "Folk Art" but they sure look like real switches to me. Don't think anybody would go to that much trouble to make "Folk Art" . Once maybe, not 6 times .
I don't even run O gauge but I almost bought them just because of how neat they are and to see what mechanism is hiding under those tin covers.
