Dick, do you have a switch (turnout) at home, imagine not have a motor on it. Just a spring holding the throw bar against one side, the weight of passing locomotive and cars automatically pushes the points to the opposite side and spring on throw bar pulls it back. If you have an Atlas switch at home, remove motor and use a stretched out ball point pen spring on throw arm, you'll have a basic spring switch.
