when i started building my own turnouts i started using DPDT slide switches [SS] to operate them .these have worked great for the main layout area which is a shelf type
when i added a staging area i found i couldn`t think of a satisfactory system to operate the turnouts from a distance
i came up with this -
from knobs on the panel at the fascia i have run two wires to a bellcrank at each turnout which then operates the slide switch which operates the turnout. the advantage of the SS is feeding the frog and LED`s etc
i will post some pictures when i work out how to decrease the file size
