Hello all,
Here is a small review about the motorization of 9V switch points prepared
originally in French for friends from Freelug. With the help of Didier
Enjary for translation, Gaël Frazier for a final proofreading and
Jean-Louis Bergamo (webmaster of Freelug) for publication. Thank you guys

It works so fine, I planned to introduce Amaury Jacquot's modification of Chris Alano's mechanism you use to reduce a little bit the footprint (expecially the width) of the power unit.
