Hi Dave,
I took a look at the Bull Frog system after you posted. They look good to me! I guess the advantage of their system is you get a nice looking rod control coming out of the fascia instread of hardware, and the turnout control mechanism is even less visible topside than the mechanism I'm using. Disadvantages include having to assemble the Bull Frog unit and it seems the control rod costs extra. My turnouts are costing $4.00 each with the price of the barrel bolt and the hook weight. I spent about ten bucks on fishing line but that will be spread over the cost of 20 turnouts...and I might be able to use the leftover line as telelgraph wire.
