Unfortunately, due to the way the GMLTC builds modules, there really isn't
such a thing as a "quick design change" on our layout...
I was looking at some small reed switches at a surplus store this past
weekend, I might splurge (around a dollar, each!) and pick a few up. My
soldering skills aren't too good, but I'll see what happens. :-)
We should be able to find a way to fit a reed sensor into/under/around a
piece of curved track, somehow!!
