@Arthur P. Bloom I want to thank you for your opinion. You are certainly welcome to manage your model train layout in the way that you'd prefer. There is no intent on my part here to tell you or anyone else otherwise, and I respect everyone's decisions even if I may not agree. I'm not trying to tell anyone to over-complicate the way they might desire to wire their layout. I'm also not trying to convince you or anyone to change their way of thinking about this. I am trying to learn specifically about how these breakers function.
Rather than continue debating your points of view on this thread, would you please consider starting your own topic to discuss your grievances about your opinions on complexity?
