He's got infinite speed control. Just tap the wire faster or slower.

I like the sparks coming out from under the wheels at about 1:38.

How about the switch being a loose piece of rail you move by hand.

This went around a few years ago, and yea, third world hilarity. I'd like to send this video to Cal-OSHA just to listen to the screams.

Reminds me of the C210 I flew for Flight Express, the part about the sparks shooting out.

I want to build one of those kick switches for my backyard rr. I have a photo of another similar type, that doesn't use a frog, but has a curved turnout. Let's see if I can attach a photo...
