| I've published a rough rendering and ldraw file for the motorized point (sans track--anyone know if there's an ldraw part for the switch track?). The signal post rotates 90 degrees when the point is switched. Thomas and I were working on a larger, (...) (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)
