I just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be there tomorrow for the build session. Yeah, it's really late notice, but I know that there are people who like to know if anyone else is going to show up. I'll probably get there between 2:00 and 2:30. (...)

Hi Brian, The plans are perfect. I'm going to make 5 for you to motorize some of the switches on your DCC loop. I know I have a few more motors but I just can't seem to get my hands on them with a more extensive search. Are you going to be at any of (...) (21 years ago, 19-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)

A couple corrections. 1. Just noticed I have a 2 x 4 plate on top of a 1 x 4 brick. You should probably replace these two pieces with a 2 x 4 brick or similar.

Seeing the pitiful designs I've made for motorized 9v train points, my brother Chris came up with one. Put a housing over it, and people will swear it's a relay.
