Ouch!
Nick - please consider using a non-intrusive method of performing remote
motorized switch control. I was close to performing the operation on a set of
switches myself, when I decided to sleep on it. It bothers me to this day
that I came so close to drilling into LEGO. Anyway, I used a motorized switch
that works well without fiddling with the friction stops inside the switch
housing.
I'm currently working on a web page to depict my remote motorized
switching methods, if you're interested.

| I don't think I want to risk damaging a $15 Lego piece either. I would love to see your example. Having it along with the others presented/suggested so far should give me a head start. Thanks to everyone who has passed their idea along. -Nick Ed (...) (25 years ago, 14-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)
