I think we have gotten a little off topic.
My layout is set up to be run by the handhelds. The switches can also be controlled from their buttons located near the switch on the side of the layout. It is setup this way so I’m close to the action when switching the yards or an industry. I really see no need for a centralized control panel on my layout.
By the way, my wife shoots vertical videos. I’ve mentioned horizontal looks better, but she says it is easier to hold it vertical.
