Can the spring switch also be thrown to change direction? And if so, is it sprung both ways?

Another great video as usual DJ. Interesting fact about the white tie.

Another great vid DJ!
And yes I had a crew freak me out as you described while running thru Symington yard in Winnipeg!

BTW I did made a spring switch a while ago using a Kadee coupler spring!

One thing DJ forgot to mention. You can not stop your loco or train over a spring switch and then backup. The loco or train must completely be clear of the switch before you reverse directions.

if reversed, it will be locked with a padlock.
