Interlocking Machines

Nothing makes an Interlocking Tower, such as our kit #185 PRR MO Tower or #702 Interlocking Tower stand out more on a layout then providing it with a detailed interior and our latest structure detailing kit does just that. Similar to the equipment once found in the actual MO Tower, our Six Lever and Thirteen Lever Interlocking Machines will add prototypical realism to any tower.

These 100% laser-cut kits include a floor-cutting template for installing the levers in any of our Tower kits, a new floor plate with laser-scribed details, and even a laser-cut paint mask (Thirteen Lever version only) along with color suggestions so the individual levers can be painted appropriately per railroad practice. Once assembled, the levers can be positioned to the modelers liking. The finished Thirteen Lever Interlocking Machine measures 1.25 inches long x 0.5 inches wide x 0.75 inches high and the Six Lever Interlocking Machine measures 0.5 inches long x 0.5 inches wide x 0.75 inches high with the lever bases extending below the floor level an additional 0.25 inches or less.
