Yes, and it automated and it was brilliant, although I am not the one to talk
about it-- it was the programming of J-1 (John Gerlach).
But briefly, he had it where there were 3 small locos in bays 1-3-5 and had the
turntable automatically turn to #1 bay, the engine would go onto the turntable,
it would turn to bay #2 and deposit it in there. Then it would turn to bay #3
and get that engine, move it to bay #4, and so on.
The system was a delicate flower, but very cool nonetheless.
