Mark, I have acquired several of the Flyer turnouts and have begun to modify them using the ideas you have planted in my empty head. I have found a way to use the original Gilbert switch motors under the switches. I will explain this procedure and illustrate with pics. I would also like to take some pics before I do the mods on the layout to show the difference these switches make in the track-work. Thank you again for this thread that you have posted.
Flyer for ever!
