I've seen info on Matt's train depot web site about automating switching
rails. I would like to be able to control the motors from the speed
regulator. I was thinking of using the 5120 Polarity Switch to do this.

still have some in stock with a different item number than 5120. I was
hoping to find another solution that wasn't dependent on LEGO inventories...
Thanks,
Ryan
