BGAS Hand Throw Stands - MagnumMacKivler/trakpak3 GitHub Wiki
Hand-throw stands are commonly found in yards, sidings, service tracks, and even mainlines when the cost of installing remote-controlled power switch machines can't be justified.
Bethlehem Steel 51A
models/trakpak3_us/switchstands/bethlehem_51a_right.mdl
models/trakpak3_us/switchstands/bethlehem_51a_left.mdl
These switch stands are named _left and _right depending on which way the switch will go when thrown to the Reverse position. In Hammer, the Top-Down 2D view should show a small chevron that indicates the throw direction.

Model Animations
| Sequence | Description |
