Caboose Industries #117R HO/N Ground Throw (Rigid Type)Rigid ground throws require the modeler to make a spring to take up the overtravel. This throw was designed for situations where there is trackage, building, or scenery in the way of using our sprung stand. A shim to raise the stand to tie level and five different end fittings to connect to most turnouts are provided: hook end for Atlas, blade for Roco, hole for PECO, small round pin for Micro Engineering and round pin for Shinohara and others. . All Caboose Industries ground throws are molded of strong, self-lubricating black Delrin. An external cam provides maximum life and travel for each model.

A detent assists in holding the handle horizontal for installation purposes.
