I can not think of a better and quicker way to control selection of 19 turnouts and 12 uncoupling track sections and or to remember which push button switch activates which switch or UC section on the layout than an Active Touch Track Diagram Control Panel. And that includes all the turnout activation switches in a long row and the use of a remote controller walking around the layout.
If fact I do not have to remember which push button works which turnout. All I have to do is trace the path of the train with my eyes or finger and push the push buttons to set up the train route. I like to keep things simple and easy.
