Below is the layout my son & I are working on. The question I have is whether or not we can consolodate some turnout controls by having multiple turnouts on a single remote switch. In the diagram, is there a reason why the following turnouts should not be controlled by a single switch: Turnouts E & F: Consolidating the passing siding turnouts Turnouts A & B: Conolidating a turnout from the mainline to the spur/future extension Turnouts C & D: Same as above, but for the other direction My thought is I could take these 6 turnout switches and get it down to 3. Is this bad? Is there a reason for the current layout or when we add this to another layout that this would cause problems? Thanks [img]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/malexenko/sml.jpg[/img]
