Hi Robert,
As the guy who has the barrel bolt switch control thread I really appreciate your thoughtfulness in starting a new thread where folks can discuss any manner of turnout controls. I won't post much about my mechanical controls here since that's covered in the other thread. I will say that my choice of controls is the result of having to retro fit them into an existing layout with ballasted track and surrounidng scenary. Were I just laying track now I'd be keeping a close eye on this thread to see what othrs are doing.
Your photos are very illustrative of your question.
