An Arduino-Based Servo Switch Machine

A while ago, I was looking for a DCC controlled switch machine for my garden railroad.  My switches are hand built with some Micro Engineering G scale turnout kits.  The switches were originally built with hand throws for moving the points and activating a micro-switch for powering the frog.  These have served for many years but do need periodic maintenance because of the outdoor environment here in Iowa.  Winters can be hard on trackwork.
