I noticed DTG used the newer style back saver bow tie ground throws. Is there a more appropriate type of manual switch stand for the time period of this route?

The High Star stands in my ScaleRail package are appropriate. IIRC, however, you'll need to change the target colors from red to yellow.

High Star? I can change it to yellow easily enough. I only have round targets for scale rail, are the Star ones in the HiRes pack. I bet I'm taking the shape to literally and Star is the manufacturer.

High Star (type) and not a high "star" (style). The WP targets were round - the color being the difference between SP and WP switch stands.

That's what I figured you meant. I did the swap with RWTools and it looks really good. It all lined up nicely. Hope you have plans somewhere to make a ScaleRail conversion of this route. I looked at doing it but they have a separate winter track entries in the Trackrules plus an oily type rule in there. Looks good with the proper switch stands though. Thank you for the Help.
