@ScoutingDad….. The “Poncho” is a reference to my “Pontiac” Trans Am. My other passion besides model trains is fiddling with sports cars.
Thanks for the reply. I think I’m going to go with DZ1000 machines on the whole layout expansion. I want to use tortoise but I don’t want to mix and match if I can avoid it, and I know there will be interference with the lower yard level even with an 8” clearance I have built in. Love you idea of touch toggles. I want to use those on the fascia giving me the option of using a remote and MTH TIU/AIU or the toggle to actuate the switches! Good idea sir! Thanks for the updates! Learning a lot!

I went with DZ1000s and some manual throws for sidings near the layout edge. I wired them for both push button control and remote control through the AIU. I haven’t gotten slick enough to use the remote yet, so I’ve relied on the push buttons. 🤦‍♂️
