Oldokie, as to auto vs. manual turnout control [the last time I checked], Aristo elec. machines are not intended for outdoor use. I wrap mine with plastic floor sheeting held in place with bungy cords while not operating. My roadbed is 42" above ground level (braced off a fence), so this protection is easily done. Manual turnouts are weather "resistant," so I suppose the major concern is the location of same. In the yards, they are fairly "bunched" but if there is much distance between them, you may wi***o wear your "P.F. Flyers" (track shoes) to operating sessions. I too prefer Aristo trackage (U.S.A. style) for appearance as well as conductivity [which isn't a concern with radio control]. For uniformity, I would go with Aristro Craft all the way. Occasionally, they run sales whereby you get five boxes for the price of four (check their web site for sales). By the way, would "okie" have any reference to Oklahoma? I'm a refugee 16 years removed from Tulsa. Half of your problems are already solved with remote control but best of luck anyhow. T.D.K.
