I guess I'm a Contrarian because I love the look of 022 switches eventhough they have a toy-like, non-realistic appearance.
Since they are big, I sometimes put big little people near them.
You can landscape near it with your favorite scenery.
The large bright lantern and the control box (where you throw the remote 022) have easy to see red and green lights that you can set up so you know how the switch is set from far away. On my layout, green means the train will take the straight track, and red means the train will take the curved track, as it goes through the switch. Arnold
