Newbie question: automatic switches

[billgiannelli]

Hello!
I am a newbie with a question about switches.
Is there an automatic switch setup, so that the switch is thrown after the train passes over it?
My intention is to have the train travel over both loops I have installed automatically.
thanks
Bill

Do not know of any in HO.  I think Lionel may have had such switches.  If anyone knows I be interested.   Forgetting to throw a switch is my biggest source of derailment.

Automatic turnout throw can be done several ways using different technologies.
