Don,
I am using an old Digitrax Empire Builder I bought approx 10 years ago when I worked in a shop in CA. This was before their radio control was even available. Last year had to send the DB150 back to Digitrax for repair it finally gave up, now runs like a champ. I have a bunch of UP5 located all around the layout.
Ive also accuried a couple of DS64 for automatic route control in the yard and some of the harder to get to switchs.
This is a industrial area so most of the switchs will be hand thrown to slow down operators like in the real world.
As in, Engineer will bring the train to a stop, Conductor will align the switch, then engineer will procede.
