[modeleng] Re: electric engines

Hi,
I use wiper motors on my 5" gauge line as Point Motors. I use the built in 
limit switch as one end of the throw and an external micro switch to set the 
throw the other way.
Just for the hell of it all my points are also Radio Controlled so that I 
dont have to get off my riding truck to set a route.

Regards

Clif
