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
:-)

Thanks for the work putting this all together! It’s good to know other folks
won’t have to go through the same hours of searching that I did when I was
looking for ideas on doing this. :)
One minor note: You don’t need to modify the switch for my design; in fact, I
imagine that it wouldn’t work with a modified switch.
I’m toying around with a new design that moves the direction of torque 90
degrees to the direction of sheer; currently they’re both vertical in my design
(Lego tends to separate on the up-down axis, the excess torque in mine is spent
up-down). If I get it down to a useful compact design, I’ll post it here.
thanks,
James

The story is that I tested it with a new switch point and an old 71427 motor quite used. The system went to some problem of torque (...) (20 years ago, 13-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
