Reversing Loop

I recently ran across a site that a fellow had set up a reversing loop that didn't need to switch the points. It was set up for one direction only. He modified a turnout so you didn't have to throw it. I can't find the site now. Does anyone know the one I'm talking about? <br />He fixed the points in the siding direction, and then cut a gap so the train would go straight through when facing the points. The siding side could only be used to return to the straight part. Locos usually aren't a problem with forcing the switch over, but cars will commonly derail, because of lack of wieght, if the switch is not in the proper direction. <br />
