That would be me, like Jenn said they use the spring things from 4559.
They
hold up pretty well. They DID stop my GP-35 at full throttle(1).
Important Safety Tip: Only try this on a carpeted floor. At the WAMALUG
show they successfully stopped everything with only one derailment that
I saw.
Pretty good since we were all newbies with DCC and we don't keep up on
our
switch positions.
