I had read your design, but you said the house will be separated from the track
after about a half dozen cycles if it is operated at power settings 5 and 6...
What do you mean? is it useful auto switch point if I understood your meaning?

I want to refer all other information and instructions from train
experts, does any tell me where I can find most useful contents about
these?

There are other automated points out there, and mine copy some of the features
seen on those points.

(...) The point works reliably at power settings of 1 or 2 (the first or second notch on the LEGO speed regulator), but if you turn up the power on the LEGO speed regulator to 5 or 6, the motor that moves the point will pop off. Chris (23 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
