Reply to "Remote Switches"

Nice looking layout plan, looks interesting. What type of track and switches do you plan to use? I'm far from an expert here. Lots of folks here see things in track plans that it takes me some time to figure out after they mention it. I don't always see the obvious. Anyway, here are a few things to think about.

I wired my crossover switches to operate together, you might be able to do the same. With some thought about how you would like trains to run on the layout, you might be able to tie the lower left and upper right switches into your crossover switches somehow. Not sure if this would be possible or not depending on planned train operation.

Then you might be able to wire the two reverse loop switches for non-derail so they would switch automatically depending on train direction. Not sure those two switches would fit in with the operation of the others, but I suppose it might be possible? Someone with more operational experience could probably help with how practical all of this would be.
