One more thought: If I were to do it over, I would use Tortoise switch machines, but, to rewire my control panel and to spend hours under the tables remounting switch machines is not my idea of fun at 75 years old. I too use twin coil machines. I tried Atlas and they seemed too weak; the one from Z-Stuff went up in smoke instantly and the company didn't want to talk about it. NJI machines were the only twin coil ones readily available at the time. They seem to fail with a fair amount of regularity, or as a fellow modeler says, "The quality goes away before the name goes on." Whenever I can find them new on the bay or at train meets I use Tenshodo machines as replacements.
