Description
The Caboose Industries 5202S is a manual ground throw for hand-operating model-railroad turnouts.
What it is: Caboose Industries 5-pack bulk version of the 202S — five HO/S sprung ground throws (.190" travel) at the bulk-pack price for fleet installs.
- Quantity: 5 ground throws
- Same as: Five 202S singles
- Scale fit: HO and S
- Travel: 0.190"
- Type: Sprung — internal stainless-steel spring
- Caboose Industries part: 5202S (Walthers 097-5202)
Tip: Better per-unit price than buying five 202S singles. Worth it once you've committed to manual ground throws across a yard or local-industry track.
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.
