Manufacturers have had lots of time (at least 10 years???) to make motorized versions of the available turnouts - yet I don't believe there are any available for code 125 rail or smaller. SHS comes close with its 'AF highrail replacement" ~#3-4 turnout; however 6's, 8's, etc. are still needed by some modelers who don't want to have to add throws or motorize turnouts. I recognize the problem that there aren't enough of us (especially for code 125 rail) to warrant such an excursion into production under current economic conditions, but I certainly would like to see them available before I give up on building a layout.
