I will be using Atlas # $ and #6 Custom line switch's on my new layout. I realize there are better switch's to use however I have around 50 of these that are new so I will not be investing in different ones. I have some Shinora specialty switch's that will be utilized. I also have 41 of the Atlas tabletop switch machines. I would like to use Tortice or similar however I can not justify the cost. So other than the Atlas machines look hoky, take up a lot of space, do not have Aux. switchs and are noisey, what are the pros and cons of them. Other than simply having them I will be using 2" foam base and these remove the issue of mounting to foam from under the layout. From what I see, its a PITA to use anything else other than ground throws. The atlas machines already give you that capability.
