- Cobalt-S Levers bring a sense of reality to the control of model railways. They are a substantial high quality product that is 140mm (5-1/2”) high, with a feel that has never been achieved before without long hours of skilled work on the modellers workbench. The footprint of the base is 60mm x 15mm.

The moving part is a solid brass lever with working locking catch that gives a real feeling of action when moved, with a solidity and purpose reminiscent of the real thing. Added detail parts are also supplied with every switch to allow you to recreate a realistic bank of levers, complete with etched brass numbering for each lever.
They have an incredible versatility: Incorporating one SPDT changeover switch for solenoid or momentary power contact operations and two make-before-break SPDT On-On changeover switches they can literally operate ANY electrical or electronic device that has ever been invented for use on a model railway…
Despite this ability the Cobalt-S is very easy to connect and understand. It is also a switch that will happily group together just like the prototype but also comes complete with a subtle added spacer for those with larger fingers.
There are simply NO limits, so you can create a local control position or recreate the classic major signal box of a large yard or city station.

I don't understand how you could produce a video like this without showing it in use, so a potential buyer could see how large it is and how the fingers get around it! Crazy!
Hi there - there are quite a few examples of videos on RUclips already of people using these levers, including one already on our channel titled "DCCconcepts Cobalt Alpha with Cobalt S Point Levers and an Alpha Mimic" ruclips.net/video/4bjKYERWJ7o/видео.html.
There is also an independent review by Jenny Kirk here: ruclips.net/video/PNNa4kF5_G4/видео.html Titled "The ultimate model turnout and accessory control? Cobalt S levers"
Will definitely be ordering some of these when I start a layout
Thanks Lennon6412! Let us know what they look like when you do!!!
they look fantastic!
Thanks, Peter!
have had these on my layout for a good number of years, look good and and its quite satisfying to use the pull lever. only issue i had was i felt the pcb was a wee bit cramped when soldering my connections
Hi Mike - Thanks for the feedback - really glad you're enjoying using the levers! We make a Solder-Free Harness (DCP-SFH) for those who want an easier connection interface :)

Great product but....why are the bases in blue plastic? Surely black would be more realistic and I'd have thought, plastic wise, easier to come by?
Hello Mark, Most of our products use blue plastic (such as Cobalt point motors) as it is our corporate colour. Of course, the bases can be painted any colour you wish!
@@dccconceptsyoutube6446 Ah! If they can be easily painted that's fair enough. Probably a bit border line OCD on my part! ;-)
Can these be used with a digitrax loconet system?
Hello Marc! Yes! You can use a loconet detector to interface with the lever - alternatively, you can use Alpha Encoder (DCD-AEU) via Alpha Power and Box to interface directly with the track bus!
