My layout has evolved into an all-DCS affair. By that I mean that I am using DCS for everything including turnouts via AIUs. I am not experienced with layout building. This one is my first, and at age 65.5, also my last. I am finding out that there are very few if any "simple" questions even though many questions are DISGUISED as simple ones. I fear this question is one of those.
Simply put, do I want, for all the reasons that an experienced layout builder would know, a physical, locally-mounted turnout toggle switch on the fascia near the turnout? This toggle switch would be IN ADDITION to my ability to control all the AIU-connected turnouts using the DCS remote.
Again, I am running no conventional engines. There is no conventional operation. That was a design choice. I do run TMCC locos through DCS. But no conventional operation. Am I going to regret not having local turnout control if I leave off the local turnout toggle switches?
