Reply to "What are the best O gauge Lionel 022 switches,"

Post War O-22,  Best choice.  Can be had for $10 bucks sometimes, take 'em apart , clean 'em up, almost bulletproof !

I have 2 Lionel 5132 switches that were made in Honk Kong,  Got them about 40 years ago and have had no problems.

I bought 3 brand new O-22 switches, made in China back in 2009, Junk !   Had track down and ballasted, had to rip 'em out, and replaced them with some old O-22 switches.    The electric contacts for the non-derail was cheap tinfoil, which wore out after only a few months.
