switching in a way that minimizes the number of times they
have to bend the iron.
If there is any drawback to this system, it’s that it is expensive.
The switch stands cost slightly more than a top-quality switch
machine. But I feel they’re worth the cost – especially when one
contemplates the amount of work involved in building them.
In addition, my Port Rowan branch has only eight turnouts, so
I felt I could afford to invest a little more in the control system
– and I’m really glad I did. I’d definitely use this system again –
even on a more complex layout – because it adds a lot to the
operating experience.
