(...) Thanks for your comment Ross. I actually built the setup that I show on my site in order to test if everything works alright... and it does. Wessel (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

Nice compact design with hardly any hard-to-find parts. Only problem is it won't work for me. Maybe you opened your switches and trimmed the tab off, so they would slide more easily? With unmodified switches, the white gear engages before the switch (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I got mine from the 8479 Barcode Multi-set. I think there is a similar one, in red, in the 5533 Red Fury Model Team set. cheers, Wessel (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Nope, I've made no modifications to any parts... It would be like cutting my own flesh! (...) Hmmm... I haven't experienced this problem (yet). I used a relatively new/unused white gear so perhaps mine doesn't slip too easily? A problem that (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

I notice that there is a Force (or Power, Resistence...) rating on the side the white gear. Are they all the same or has LEGO made different ones? When I tried using the white gear (in many different configs) I could never get the gear to throw the (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic)

(...) I don't think so... (...) I think I found a possible explanation for why It didn't work for you guys. It has something to do with the way you connect the 1 x 4 Liftarm to the switch. Look at this: (URL) tried this at home and when I connect (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic)

I sued the right way to switch point, but the point never moves, only white gear in rotation, I used a Battery box to test it, is it any problems? BTW, does anyone know any other practical automated switch point else? Zhengrong (...) (24 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic)
