<p>Out of curiosity, I've looked at a few of the "slow switch" machines you can buy for model railroad switches, which use one means or another to achieve a more prototypical slow, smooth motion when changing a switch's direction, rather than the typical model railroad "snap".</p><p>All of the mechanisms I've seen in the smaller scales rely on some sort of good-sized lever arrangement mounted under the benchwork, so they wouldn't be practical for outdoor operation. Does anyone make a slow switch mechansism for garden use? Or has anyone tried to roll their own?</p>
