Why Power Turnouts?

Personally I only powered 2 turnouts in my layout...that of a main siding to allow two trains to pass. I did this because: <br /> <br />1) Inexperienced people tend to only change 1 switch thereby causing derailings. <br /> <br />2) In pairs, the result of misswitching them is simply using the main line or the siding. <br /> <br />Other switches are fine...if they're PECO N-scale...use your magic finger to switch them...more reliable than a powered motor anyways... <br /> <br />Justin
