The name of the product is Rix Rax, Steve sells them(Ross). They come with a specific tension wire that bends back when engines are traveling the opposite way of the through. (Thats if you dont hook up the Non derail wire from the switch motor.) The fastest way to mount them is to bend a 90 elbow on each end of the throw rod then drop them down through the switchthrow arm form above layout.Once you get the undermount in the correct location to throw the switch there is usaully 1" to 2" of extra throw rod above the layout. Snip it off and bend another 90 even with the top of the track.This way in the rare event the rod comes loose from the switch motor it wont fall to the floor.
Rix rax can be used with ANY switch motor, there is also adaptors available to turn the switch motor horizontal.
I was always looking for someone to do what you are doing,but with the Atlas switchmotors . Never made sense to me to want the best looking track then have a long motor right next to it. I guess its mostly people dont want to deal with the aggrevation .
