Yes, that would be feature #3: Works with unmodified switches. :-)
Though, to be honest, I don't know whether I have the new stiffer
switches or not, so I'm not 100% on that. (Still waiting for someone
who knows they have the stiff switches to try the design out.) It
does, however, seem to have plenty of "torque to burn" as you say...
Cheers,

| (...) You expect me to actually read your stuff??? (...) I got a pair of brand new unopened switches, still in the box. I'll bring them to BF 2004 PDX and we can test it all out there, what do you say? Deal? (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains)
