prohobby, you are absolutely correct. Any train layout owner can design their system to be as complex as he or she wishes, however unnecessarily complex it is. And as you note, "Any comments on this forum are at the option of each forum member," which leads others to post, for the benefit of newcomers, whensomeone's design is unnecessarily complex and may confuse someone lacking a depth of knowledge and experience in electric train operation and design.
For myself, I prefer to keep everything as simple and straightforward as possible.
