Is it really a good job though? Why would his "mentor" let him continue to believe that a(full sized) train can derail by trailing through a mis-aligned switch? Clearly this young man has potential and intelligence, but why allow him to be led down an errant path? I just think he should remove the prototype from his project and stick with it being a solution to a model railroad issue. Constructive criticism is good at any age....
