I seleniod switch, and DCC are very interesting ideas. They are unpure, I
guess, but it is not like you are painting or cutting bricks. I have two
motorized points, and at $25 (estimate on motor and parts) each a nonLEGO
solution, especially if it is small and neatly done looks very attractive. The
DCC stuff, well that is just cool, and once it is put back together it still
looks like a LEGO motor, right? To bad DCC is so exspensive.
