Compared to my old layout that had manual switches with pushrods and polarity micro switches etc. This is so much easier.

And the cost?
15 turnout control including servos and hardware (push buttons, LEDs, Computer/phone interphase, Panel decoder, servo decoders and LED control) was about $260.
That's $17 per turnout!
The big advantage is that this system is so very competent, it can have routes, signal control, reverse loop control and a myriad of other functions.
And, it can do it either as a standalone system (using its own Loconet bus) or connected to the DCC system or computer!
