Doorstop on EB

Postby up148 » Sat Sep 05, 2026 8:52 am

Since there is a lot of activity about doorstops on our forum as well as selling on eBay I thought it would be interesting to have a thread.......maybe there already is one and if so I apologize for being too lazy to find it. :D

Here is a listing today for a home made switcher that is interesting. I've seen similar drives and other components but this has the reverse switch sticking out the top of the hood. Love to hear some comments.

Interesting listing. Drive is an older 3 rail Pittman trolley drive. I've got nothing on the reverse lever...
Quite frankly, I’m against people who give vent to their loquacity by extraneous bombastic circumlocution.

That link goes to your Pratt B6. But it is a nice video - captures a mood.
