Description
The Caboose Industries 105R is a manual ground throw for hand-operating model-railroad turnouts.
What it is: Caboose Industries' standard rigid ground throw sized for N-scale turnouts. The smaller 0.135" slide-bar travel matches N-scale turnout-point geometry.
- Scale fit: N
- Travel: 0.135" (matches typical N-scale turnouts)
- Type: Rigid (no internal spring)
- Material: Self-lubricating black Delrin
- Caboose Industries part: 105R (Walthers 097-105)
Tip: For the sprung N-scale version with internal stainless springs, use the 206S (same .135" travel). For N Code 55 with the lower-profile rail, the 222S / 224S are purpose-designed.
About Caboose Industries: US manufacturer (Mt. Prospect, Illinois) and the industry-standard maker of model-railroad ground throws — the manual, hand-operated turnout-control accessory used by serious modellers on every scale from N through O. All Caboose Industries ground throws are molded from strong, self-lubricating black Delrin. An external cam provides maximum life and travel; the ingenious internal mechanism gives a positive lock in both straight and curved throws (effective from 10° above horizontal to the full down position). A detent assists in holding the handle horizontal for installation. Both rigid ('R' suffix) and sprung ('S' suffix) versions are produced; sprung models have internal stainless-steel springs to absorb over-travel and let the throw connect directly to the turnout.
