I am about to place an order for a couple of ROSS products.
Their website seems primitive? Very few pics. None of these "Brass Switchstands."
Product Code #50, $18.95 ea.
Anyone have a pic of these things?

Here is a photo of some that I have on my layout...I have over 50. I love these little babies.

Many thanks, Roger.
I LIKE 'em!
I'll order one for each switch.
hey Terry , I got a bunch , $15.00 ea.
They do add that finishing touch to turnouts for those with layouts in the era that sported lighted switch lamps/lanterns. And look stunning for those that like to run in the dark! They are on my "want" list for someday.
N.J. International has a website for all kinds of signals that are brass. Google it! The Raritan Valley Hi-Railers have a facebook site where there may be an example of their switchstands on the layout. If you don't see any, my apologies, the pics are always being changed as we do shows.

Here is a close up. the stands are just for detail. they do NOT operate where one can move the lever. only the lantern turns with the switch throwbar.

Many thanks for the replies. I've ordered one from Ross for each of my switches. The NJ International signals look perhaps even nicer?

If there was a forum sponsor who needs to do something about their outdated website it's Ross. Come on Steve, you can do better.
LOL!!
Well, I don't know "Steve."
But the RCS website is a travesty in this day and age!
A fine product absolutely deserves better!
As an aside, I'd recommend placing them on the straight leg of a turnout or rigging some type of extension so they don't get sheared off by long, low-hanging rail cars.
