Not...and I didn't type that as a solid block of text either.

..ok, there it is....finally.

And this is a smaller version by former(?) member Ace. I think less switches get used on this. I'll have to look for the original.

This is what I used to have in the living room. The auto turnouts orientation could be switched to normal by toggle, but here they oppose each other. If one switch is thrown by anti derail, the other switch follows suit. E.g. it comes into B on the deviation, the A switches to straight. The train takes A and circles to A's deviation, A anti derail changes to the deviation AND switches B to straight.   The result was an alternating  path. (The manual turnouts we're for when keeping the engine away from seating was wanted for guests.... except for MY swivel seat (think of Archie  Bunker on that seat, lol)
