Does that require switch modification? The rtlToronto gang(1) had not one but
TWO boffo powered points designs (using clutch gears) that did not require
internal switch modification, they had torque to burn and easily threw
unmodified switches with impressive repeatability...

1 - I say that because I forget who it was that brought them...

The problem is, I saw it, held it in my hand, but was far too distracted to
remember all the 'intricate' gearing and connections...

Was tres sweet, though!

I believe it was a JeffE design(tm).
