Post subject:  Missouri Pacific Switch locks Needed

The Southern Forest Heritage Museum, which operates as the Red River and Gulf RR at Long Leaf, LA is in need of several Missouri Pacific (or SLSF or T&P) steel switch locks. We use them in service on our railroad, but in the past several years several have "walked off" and we have need of at least 3 or 4 more. We have enough keys for the moment but more keys are always welcomed.

We are a 501c3 very non profit company but if you have any locks or know of any please contact me here by PM.

An organization I was involved with got away from using antique switch locks years ago. It was cheaper to replace them with modern locks- and none were ever stolen again. It doesn't help that antique locks have a (usually) standard key any railfan can get and use to make off with your expensive and hard-sought locks.

It may be cheaper for you to go this route and save yourself anymore locks getting stolen as well.

You can always have Adlake make you a run of your own lock with matching key.
