Talking about technics:
When I startet the project I was interested in a simple technic to throw the turnouts.
I decided for pushrods made of brass and simple switches to keep the position of the
turnout like my mates do with their modules.

Leo, a friend gave me the hint that this pushrods are affective to damages because
they stand over the border of the module - so I decided to hide them:

the technic inside the module is simple and effective:
brass rods push the switch which keeps it´s position and the switch is connected to the
turnout by luster terminals - pinciple of "kiss" = "keep it simple stupid" and it works!

The switch is needed to supply the frog with the correct kind of current!
