1121 switch finish |

I�m new to the forum and just getting back into Lionels. I was |
|
recently given milk crate of older stuff that included a few |
|
1121 switches in need of a total overhaul. They work but |
|
cosmetically look like junk. Does anyone know what the original |
|
base finish was? What can I buy that will get me closest to |
|
original finish? |
|
Thanks |
|

I'm not sure that I understand your post. |
|
The switches work well, despite being old? A lot of railroaders |
|
would tell you to leave them alone. |
|
Why do they look bad? Do they need to be polished? Are they |
|
chipped and/or rusty? Could you make one oval of track using all |
|
the old tracks? Or could you make a powered switchyard with |
|
them? |
|
You have a lot of potential with those items, so be careful not |
|
to ruin them. |
