There could be a problem using these on that return loop.  It's all curves,

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

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!!

Oops - too many Johns.  I meant John Barnes might be able to shave a bit off
the lower plate so that it'll fit on a curve.
