:D I had a bit of trouble with the video because of Facebook, but in case it helps anyone else, here's a Youtube link.

I've seen some really wild turnout alternatives, from the slide plates used on other cog railways, to gregh's turntable switches, but this one's the weirdest I've seen yet! I wonder what mechanisms are in place to keep it from rotating with a train on top?
