As I’m now in the design period of my garden RR, I’m looking at switch size, I have already collected 8 of the large 1600 series LGB switches, but would still like to purchase another 6 or so. Since my railroad will be all narrow gauge and the biggest engines I will most likely run will be the LGB Moguls I,m thinking of using the 1200 series switches for spurs and yards. Due note a few things here, I will not use body mount couples on any of my rolling stock and most of my trains will be in the 5-6 car range. I guess what I’m asking is operation thru the smaller LGB switches satisfactory for use in yards and spurs. I can not at this time tell how much train operation will be done and the movement of cars, etc., so these spurs and yards may just become storage tracks for my rolling stock and show for group meets, plus as we know the running of trains is what most of us do and not too much switching on garden railroads. Your thoughts are always important and each one is given consideration from your past experiences.
