(...) Thanks very much for the comprehensive analysis, Philippe. A compendium like yours inspires us all to build other designs, incorporate new ideas with our existing ones, and move the whole effort forward. After reading your reviews, my (...) (21 years ago, 10-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) What i think is most interesting about this design is that you chose to use monorail bases as your mechanicals. At least that's what it looked like to me in the pics... can you elaborate on that part? (21 years ago, 10-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)

(...) That's very interesting reading. Thanks. But I've never had to modify points to use my controller design. It does take some time to find elastic bands with the right amount of tension, but it can deliver just enough power to switch an (...) (21 years ago, 10-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) It wasn't really that hard. One of our other members had tried some ideas, but they didn't work. I thought about it for a few days and sketched the design out on paper. From there it was easy. Russell (21 years ago, 10-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)

Here is another very easy way for your consideration, all you need is the actuator from the 12V points/switch or the 12V automatic level crossings, a short length of string (Lego string is good :-) ) and a dab of glue.
