s illustrated in Figure 3, rotate the top of the switch stand to throw the switch. The switch is
equipped with a non-derailing feature. The train’s wheels automatically throw the

converging track. If you experience difficulties, simply throw the switch into the correct position
for the train to travel using the switch stand controls.
