| 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. Everett Lueck |

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. -Sam |

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