Switchthrows II

After installing all the switchthrows, and doing a little scenicking in the Irwin Yard, I discovered  that even thought the Caboose Industries swtichthrows are not to scale, and their black ... you could easily overlook them. I remembered reading somewhere long ago that someone painted the handles white. So I did that and really liked how they stood out against the background. After further consideration, I decided to paint the "turned" side red so that an operator could quickly scan the tracks and see if any of the switches were thrown the wrong way. I'm pretty pleased with the overall effect.
