You are right Mike. Now that I reflect on it, I have replaced many turnout switches on the D&J Railroad because of appearance and unreliable function. I have replaced them with double pole double throw slide switches that are set into the layout surface. They are easier to operate than the switch throws for those last minute actions we all seem to stumble into. I have the tortoise switch machines on the cross overs so that both switches are thrown and the signals can be set all in one action, as if the operators really observe them for movement control. <br /> <br />Ken, D&J Railroad, Stafford, VA
