The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County - would S.L. Clements be amused? 
Some years ago I built a moveable-frog turnout from plans in Model Railroader - a curved #10-or-so, if I recall correctly. It was on an earlier layout and located in a fairly deep and inaccessible "cut". I powered it with a Fulgurex slow-motion turnout motor and it worked like a charm. Wish I still had that turnout and motor, but I see that the motors are still available, and not that much more expensive than they were 25 years ago.
