Hello!
I want to get rid of my atlas turnout machines. in most cases, i feel a push rod thingy would work on areas where manual switching is ideal. for remote control, any brand of swtich machine will probably be fine. My question is:
some parts of my layout already have ballast. would it be unwise to drill up to atleast the cork road bed (from which i can just cut with a hobby knife) from below? Isn't there a tool out there that stops you once you've drilled a certain distance?
I would prefered to avoid yanking the track up as much as possible.
thanks for your suggestions!
