   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 :-)

Well, like many others, I was completely inspired by this site. I built a controller, put it on my layout and loved it.

The only issue I had was that the smallest 9V controller was still too big for one part of my layout--the larger cars and sometimes the engine hit the controller building.

So with a little fiddling and stuff, I came up with this:



If you want to download the LDraw file, go here http://sparky.i989.net/ltrain.htm

The building is 4 studs wide, except for the black plates on the switch point. I ran it all night tonight and it didn’t separate from the switch point and didn’t fail once.

Again, thanks for the inspiration!

Take care,

Dave K
