The Tortoise Switch Machine encloseures that switch the track to the new section. I have a total of 8 of these and they work great!

Hey Shadow,

Great visual description of your layout! Took a ton of imagination and ability. I am totally on board with every aspect of the project.

Did you consider parallel tracks anywhere? I am leaning this way on mine and wonder if you considered it, wondering if you could fill me on your rationale.

Definitely the answer for those of us without adequate floor space.

Keep it up! logandsawman

Thanks for the commets LASM. If you go back and look at the first page and pictures, you will see that it is double and even triple in some areas. The two bridges have three tracks on them...two on top, one on bottom. The phase 2 part of my project is the only place that is single track .

I also have a video link on the first page that takes you on a short ride. The video is unedited and the ride does not actually start till 23-25 seconds in so you may want to fast forward.

My loco's have sound as well but I have CV 128 set to 0 (off) on most of them. The sound on the Tsunami decoders is nice but gets annoying while watching TV so the sound in the video is pretty useless.
