The Catalina mechanism cost me £0.00 in materials, all salvaged bits. I don't need to control the speed, a micro switch stops it. It is simple, it is cheap, it cost nothing in parts or shipping. Why add electronics for the sake of it when it's not necessary? If the layout was for myself, it wouldn't be DCC and would probably have manual points control. Unnecessary electronics just adds cost and manufacturing time.
This is a project for a customer, not a personal toy for myself. As a result, it is built to a budget in both time and materials.
