I use an RCX for most situations, but I also use a polarity switch for manual

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.

Any thoughts on this?  Is there a better way/another way?

There are some schemes on the Leo & Lego site for automated points using the
polarity switches: http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leo/lego.html
