Hello,

It is just a color shift due to the numeric camera I used to picture the switch
point. Take it easy :-) Lego has nothing to do with that.

By the way, it is a picture of a motorized switch point by a 2793c01 pneumatic
cylinder. All the remaining description is in french in a sort of review
(http://www.freelug.org/article.php3?id_article=175) I posted recently for some
AFOL friends at FreeLug.
If you want to pratice a little bit your french reading, it should be a good
starting point :-)

In the same article there are several solutions proposed for motorizing 9V
switch points, pointing some former proposals and a recent synthesis proposed by
myself for 71427 and 2838 9V motors. The main mechanisms on which I rely is the
one from Chris Alano published on lugnet by Brian. Also two solutions based on
pneumatic cylinders x189c01 or 2793c01.

If there is a huge demand, I could translate the article... :-)

All the best,

Philippe.

P.S. It is my very first message on Lugnet, please don't flamme.

(...) I can't speak for anyone else but I certainly think an article that collected several different point motorization schemes would be very useful so if you are willing to translate it and post it, please do! (and let us know about it)... (...) (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hi Philippe, I took at look at the FreeLug site but I could not see any description of the system I use which is the 7563 actuator, a piece of string (Lego of course!) and a dab of glue! Would you like me to send you a picture of what I do? (21 years ago, 29-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains)
