Turnout question poll
#2
It's actually a very complex question.

Manual for the turnouts you can easily reach.

Electric for the turnouts you can't reach.

But you can Manually switch a turnout that is hard to reach if you use rods and levers.

So....

Another thing is whether you want the HOG reaching into the scene to throw the turnout.

However, if all of your turnout controls are on the fascia you don't have to worry about the HOG reaching into the scene. (Except for uncoupling, but that's a whole other can of worms.)

Then, ultimately, it doesn't really matter. Use either/both. What ever you've got and/or can afford to use....
