Model railroad switch actuators

A remotely operable switch actuator for model train having a housing adapted to receive an electrical switch having a toggle, a slider translationally received by the housing and linked to the toggle, and a fulcrum for receiving mid portion of a connecting rod. The fulcrum may be translationally received by the housing, which when moved, alters the throw of the connecting rod. In certain embodiments of the invention, the slider has means for receiving a first end portion of the connecting rod where the second end of the connecting rod may engage a throw bar. In other embodiments, the actuator further includes a lever pivotally received by the housing, and linked at one end to the slider and the other end linkable to the connecting rod at one end thereof.
