QUOTE: Originally posted by ARTHILL I installed four of the humpyard units and I think I am going to love them. So far they are the best working that I have and they really look nice on the control panel.

QUOTE: Originally posted by ARTHILL SpaceMouse, I don't completly understand the question. Up with the lever is one way. Down with the lever is the other. There is a small click on the lever that lets you know it is closed or open. There is an adjustment issue, but it is easier than tortise. If up and down with the levers is important, then a bell crank may have to be used trackside if you connect from the "wrong" side. There is an option for indicator lights but I have not used them, "Yet".

QUOTE: Originally posted by cmrproducts All of my turnouts are hand throws (Caboose Ind) and 90% are located along the edge of the layout. I use Music Wire to attach the Ground Throw to the turnout. The wire is run through a plastic tube and runs under the tracks to the turnout. I then just cover the plastic tube with scenery and the wire is not noticeable. I put a line of trees or low shrubs along the edge of the layout between the ground throws and the track to break up the look of the hand throws all being along the edge of the layout. My layout is an OPs type of layout and if running trains through scenery is more important then this type of system may not be for you. But it eliminates the operators reaching through the scenery and causing problems breaking off the limbs of the trees, etc. BOB H – Clarion, PA
