I accidentally ran a train through a turnout the "wrong way" coming out of a siding and was surprised it acted just like a spring switch! The train went through it and each truck move the points over and then they snapped back.
Very cool I thought ... I can use that on the return loop of the to-come upper level!
The question is if they will do this reliably or will some types of cars derail or was it the Gargraves spring instead of the usual ROSS spring that let this happen?
