THIS ENGINE ROCKS. Really. Raises the bar on engine detail and accuracy. Very nice. AND it's in WARBONNET!!! Need bigger pictures, though.

Hello! As I have seen this part being used for automatic switches etc., then I expect that some will know how it works. Is it a 2 or 3 step switch. Just on/off or off and 2 directions? Sonnich. (25 years ago, 20-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains)
