[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rsn48 I haven't voted yet for two reasons, what my preference is and what I use are two different issues. Secondly, how can you have power routing with manual throws? [/quote] Same here, not happy with what i'm using and looking for something better and easier. Turnouts such as Peco electrofrog or Micro-Engineering selectively route power from the points to one of the two diverging routes regardless of whether remotely or manually operated. The poor reliablility of this can be overcome with the aux contacts of a remote switch machine, but for manual the aux contacts must be added externally, either by a microswitch linked to the throwbar, or contacts in the ground throw.
