A curious or dumb question.
Lets say i have plan to make a staging or holding yard for my layout. It will be hidden behind a divider, or in a tunnel.
I do not have walk around throttles yet, i will have a power pack mounted to my layout. I was thinking on the lines of push buttons for my control panel to control my turnouts.Will 1 of the buttons be a little depressed so i'll be able to tell? How do i know how my switches are aligned, straight or turned. Without visually seeing the turnout. Do i need to put lights on my control panels indicating which way they are turned. Or do i need to have a unobstructed view to be able to tell? And do a visual for each turnout?
Thanks,
Cliff
