How do you model Elliot switch stands?

OK, maybe that's not exactly the right question.

Post-harp C&S switch stands look a lot like the Elliot stands (used by the D&RGW) -- but they're not exactly the same (the C&S versions have a half-moon under the throw-rod on the base plate, and the top plate is thicker than D&RGW equivalents).  Were they indeed Elliots (perhaps of a slightly earlier or later design?), or just something similar?

In any case, how do you folks model them?  Scratch built?  Or is there a vendor which does them that I'm unaware of?

(I'm in HOn3, but I'd be interested in what others are doing in other scales either way.)

Cheers,
Jeff.
