In various ways,I've managed to acquire several of the Atlas under table switch machines. The instructions all for the machine activating rod to be attached to the throw rod between the rails. Is it possible to attach the machine with the hole where a Caboose ground throw is attached?

Gene,
I use these on my portable module. The ywork fine and really don't care thether you use them directly to the throw bar or offset to pull the bar from the end. You will have to experiment a bit to make sure you get correct throw. I used Atlas swtich machines by sticking them in bulidings and under scenery with long rods through tubes to throw the switches. I'm talking the code 100 switch machines here which are what the undertable units are based on. If your frogs need power, you will need a seperate relay to correctly switch the power. I use the Atlas snap relay wired in parallel to control power to the frog.
I've used these for over 20 years and they are very reliable once adjusted
Thanks. I have two turnouts to experiment with once I get home.
