I am not sure from your question what you want the result to be. I have both so maybe I can help some. A physical panel has the advantage that one can quickly take an action. You could do the same functions from a PC but it takes longer. The big gain with a PC is automation, or at least semi automation. It's nice not to have to worry about running a train into a turnout set the wrong way, the PC will throw it if it's wrong. I don't think it's either-or, you can have both. When visitors look at the layout it's the physical control board the look at. Hope this helps; Ken
