I'm an idiot. I was so fixated on getting the switch to go from one
position to another, I forgot that you don't have to reverse! Rotary
motion.... duh! Yeah, my setup works with that; I just checked. The motor
and gear ratios could be made vertical and put alongside a support to save
space.
I do have the point-switch working too. That only needs a single reduction,
and I've got a 16-tooth gear driving the racks.
The setup I described is neat, but I don't think we want to do it because of
the constraints it would put on our setup--a point just outside the station,
etc. I may do it for myself anyhow, though...
