Hi Guys,
First post! I've been lurking around for a while but finally have something worth while to say.
I've used both Peco and Shinohara code 100 switches. I've used insul-frog and electro-frog with Peco and Electro-frog with Shinohara.
I find Peco has the advantage as I've had much less problems with them, and I certainly prefer the option to use their built in spring to keep the switch set instead of installing ground throws. You can still remove the spring to install a ground throw or switch motors but I like the option.
Shinohara looks a little better in my eyes but after weathering and ballasting I wouldn't know the difference.
Hope you find something that fits your needs!
Dave
