Sorry to cast necromancy, but after aparently fixing my computer with just a new IDE cable and disk scan, I finally got those pictues taken. Hopefully they show what you wanted to see. You can also see my swanky foamcore fascia.

Very nice.  I have 75 RS micro slide switches for this purpose.  I've experimented with placing the switch directly under the throw rod extension on the turnout, but the wire running to the fascia had a lot of flex in trying to push the switch.  Placing the switch along the fascia like that will eliminate that problem.  Thanks for posting the photos.  That gives me some good ideas.  8)

I'm using the mark bridgewater method.. running model RC type links to the switches, then connect a slider switch for the throwing action.  It's simple, works well, and you can route power easily :)










Ever have the feeling you are being watched????

OK, am I missing something or is the 'you can route power easily' part just wiring up the slider switch like a switch?
