Great idea! I just tried this with the speed regulator set to level 4 (6 being
max) and it reduces the impact considerably, but there's still enough power for
a reliable throw. I've been using the motorized switches with my RCX (running
LACC) and this suggests a new feature of allowing the power level to be adjusted
when throwing the switch.

And, everything else that gets in the way! Jeez, building 6-wide cars is
expensive enough, I can only imagine what it costs in parts for a nice long
8-wide loco...
Thanks for the suggestion,
