Hi Willis,
I recently saw a good picture of a small slide switch connected by a
piece of stiff wire to the throwbar and concealed in the foam or scenery.
When you slide the switch in or out, it also throws the turnout. I think
there was a non-operating target sticking out of the top of the switch, also!! :thumb:
If I run across the pic, I'll post a link. I'm sure there are other ways to link
some kind of switch to the turnout, too.
