Using Tortoise Switch Machine to Power Hidden Staging Yard

<p>Is this staging going to be accessible? The reason I ask is because if (and its a pretty big if, but it happens) the tortoise fails for some reason, you no longer have a way to move that train out of the yard. </p> <p>Personally I will probably go with DPSTs 3p/st or 4p/st switches (my club disassembled an old DC control panel recently and I have some of these laying around) for turning tracks on and off, and providing panel indication of power to the track.</p>
