My New York & Atlantic layout

I think you might find that you will need to power the frog on your hand laid turnouts. You already know the type of engines I run and I could never get them to run through an un-powered frog. Once one of the trucks hit the dead frog, the loco stalls.

You homemade switch machine though is a brilliant piece of work though, even if you did copy the basic fundamental design.

I say this as I'm not a big fan of wiring either.
