Tilman,

Thanks for the input, I was afraid the "reversing" switch was going to be my
only option. I have a pair of them, but I was hoping for a more elegant
solution.

put a technic axle trough it to operate it, and it has 4 positions: forward,

are looking for. The only problem is that it's currently not available in
any set. The last set that I remember seeing it in was the Technic
Spaceshuttle. It has two of them. Until a few years ago, it was also sold
through Lego Dacta.

I've look in a few Dacta catalogs and haven't found what I was
looking for,
so I figured I'd ask the experts.

Is there a LEGO electric switch that has one input and can switch between
two outputs? Basicly I want to have a power supply come into the
switch and
be able to switch the power to one of the two outputs. Is there such a
beast? If so, would the switch work in the reverse? One output switching
between two inputs.
