Turnout control,Manual or Electric pros or con

[e-paw]

I had a similar idea to JGLfans... I posted it here <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=4311">viewtopic.php?f=25&t=4311</a><!-- l --> I have modified it slightly in the way that the switch connects to the throw bar as you can see here.     There is now a pin that goes horizontally through the switch into the throw bar. This way the connection is a little stronger. You can see it in the background of this shot. Also, the red wire is soldered to the frog and the yellow & blue wires are the + and - track power. This kind of switch control will work on either dc or dcc without any modification.
   
Here is a shot of the control that I was using earlier on, it is a modified version of a design by GaryS.
