If your talking money and time, then hand thrown. If your talking prototypically then it depends on the era and location. You could feasibly have your ctc be a hand held dcc controller. You could control all your switches from a controller not assigned to a loco and do it that way. Since your kids will be running and depeneding on their age it might be easier for them to use hand thrown. It might be easier for them to operate since they won't have t o remember what code to switch. they can just run up to the switch and move it then keep running. which on a switching layout would be more prototypical. <br />Andrew
