Very cool, Steve - glad you got it to work, and I'm looking forward to the pics. I've never tried rotating the motor vertically - doh! That allows the motor torque to be shifted to a different plane than the switch throw, so you won't have to use (...) (24 years ago, 4-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)

After 100 I got tired of counting and I just stopped it, so it might go for several hundred. It sits (...) (24 years ago, 4-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
