Jeff, that's pretty cool.  I like the idea of having it cycling, so you
don't risk damaging the point or the motor. • In lugnet.trains, Wessel Burgers writes:

perfectioning (anyone? feel free to!), but using this type of gear does
protect your point and/or motor.

Another neat one - mine looks pretty similar, though I use a belt drive.
Those white gears are a bit hard to come by, and I don't have any of those
steering plates with a built-in rack either.  Still, using a steering bar
and a 1x4 rack only raises things by 1 plate, so it's still not as high as
the motor.  Good tip on fitting the lift arm though.
