Is that a Hankscraft display motor (SwitchMaster) I spy up there in the second photo? It's good to see someone still uses them! I bought quite a few of them when I started to build the "ultimate LS&W" in my basement in Lansdale, PA after having lived there, spending the bulk of my free time fixing the house, for three years ... and six months later after starting to fill the basement with benchwork, Burroughs bought Sperry, it became Unisys and all of the former Sperry people (like me) were systematically, by department, laid off and replaced by former Burroughs people from the Plymouth, MI area and I ended up having to pack everything up, sell the house and move.
So ... can you still get them? Or should I forget it and just go with Tortoise for any turnouts beyond what I currently have motors for?
