I know there are several threads floating around about manual switch options. I am using code 55 Atlas track. I was planning on using Caboose Industries ground throws until I realized there won't be enough clearance in the yard area. There is a double track running along the ladder as you can see below.

I am not using foam so a few of the options I've seen where they embedded the switch wire in the foam are out. I know there was a article in a N-scale magazine about a TATER switch I had but it figures that is the one issue which I can't find anymore. Anyone have the how to from that or a similar idea? I would like to run it to a toggle on the layout facia so I don't have to reach into the yard to throw switches around the cars. I don't have the money I would need to do Tortoise either, even though I would love to. The Blue Line ones are nice as well but alittle pricey for a manual. Any other options?
