Hello Everyone, <br />Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. <br />My question is I don't know which one is better to use on my layout, the Peco switch machine or the tortoise machine. I'm using Peco turnouts,N gauge,Code 80 Peco Flex track. The Peco is half the cost but I don't want to compromise because of cost. Which one is easier to install?Does the Peco mount under the bench work with only drilling a hole to slip the pin thru or is there more to it? I also read somewhere you need to drill a hole in your benchwork to clear the motor or am I misunderstanding. <br />My last question is can I go about laying my track work and adding either one of these later on? In other words are there any steps I need to do to add switch machines later on? <br />Thank You All for your help. <br /> <br />Louie
