QUOTE: Originally posted by claycts Yes, just get an old style Atlas, the points come loose and there is your derailment. This only happens when you BEST engine is coming into the switch and at that switch a derailment will cause it to hit the floor. Other than that time it will work just fine: Murphy's RR Law #1[:D]
QUOTE: Originally posted by Jeorge Is there a way to wire in a Turn out so that way it was on a switch well more like a old record player type switch {the type to life the arm up and down} so that the turnout switches as you move the switch. But not fast but like as you move the switch it moves the turn out moves so in theory you could set the turn out in the middle and derail if you wanted to...

A ground throw or an automoble choke cable / lawnmower throttle cable would do it.

I thought by the way you answered claycts that maybe you were looking for a mechanical rather then an electrical way to throw the points. Maybe something with a reostat?
