I've only operated with picks or 0-5-0 Hand of God switchers. I'm curioius about no-touch switching.

So, yea or Nay?

Do you prefer under track or between the rails magnets. If between the rails, how do you disguise them?

I know electromagnets are the choice of people bought stock in IBM in 1955, but I didn't.
