I'd agree with Terry's comment. Perfect for storing trains, since it takes up a lot less space, leaving plenty of space for yards. I would have been more in to it had it been something more usable for me (aka stainless or nickle plated). Since I am track powered, the brass doesn't cut it for me. However, The simplicity seemed to make it robust. For indoor use, it would be ideal.

Pat,

I run track power, so anything brass is considered 'a lot of work' by me.

I think their 5 way switch would be perfect for your application, since it is an indoor, yard storage track. In fact, it seems to be a real space saver for storage tracks, and I might consider it (or something like it) for my indoor storage space, should I ever get around to building that.

Greg - he had a manual 5 way switch at the show, but an electrically operated one was also available. Check out Train-li for more info.

Greg,

I agree it was pricey, but I think its a case of you get what you pay for. The design was simple and seemingly robust. I must admit what when he told me the price, I was a bit sticker shocked! However, if you were to consider the cost for five switches, (even the 10' ones), this little unit was in line. Plus, there are no frogs or points to pick, so I could see smoother train operations.
