A friend "liberated" this Southern Pacific switchstand for me decades ago. The height is six feet. -- Russ

Thanks Russ - just what I wanted - On a left hand turnout and set to go left - which way would the red plate with white strip be facing ? - Iv got to get it right to keep the rivet counter / knit-picker brigade at bay
Thanks
