    Am a long time N scale person who has been asked by a friend in G scale to help him out with a problem concerning his turnouts. He only said "they are not working". Anything I should know as to differences in operation, mechanical or electrical in G switches from N or HO?

    I've been in HO since 1961 and in G since 1990, the LGB & Aristocraft switches remind me of the Atlas snap switches & work the same way.

    Skyrail, reckon we need more info. Aristo switches have a tendency to turn their toes up after a few years in the weather, but in general largescale switches are structurally and electrically just like their little cousins.
