Oh My Goodness! I didn't even think of that! I've modified all my switches to
have both sides powered, but gettting a 9v wire out to a DCC enabled switch
motor--that's extraordinarily brilliant!
Time for me to either modify the actual motors, or build more
DCC-Chip-In-A-Brick adapters. Too bad I can't get the electrical plates from
S@H anymore. Dacta, expect a phone call in the near future.
Very nicely done, Mark!
