Description
The Caboose Industries 202S is a manual ground throw for hand-operating model-railroad turnouts.
What it is: Caboose Industries' standard sprung ground throw for HO and S-scale turnouts. Internal stainless-steel spring absorbs over-travel — connects directly to the turnout throwbar without needing the modeller to build a custom spring.
- Scale fit: HO and S
- Travel: 0.190" (matches typical HO / S turnouts)
- Type: Sprung — internal stainless-steel spring
- Connection: Direct to turnout throwbar
- Caboose Industries part: 202S (Walthers 097-202)
Tip: The sprung 202S is the easier install vs. the rigid 101R — just drop in and connect. Bulk savings: see 5202S (5-pack of the 202S).
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.
