Pros:
|
It works on Peco turnouts
|
|
Cons:
|
Appearance is ugly, huge honkin hole required, Loud and offensive BZZT noise, expensive
|
|
 It works on a Peco turnout
Firmly attaches to the turnout
 Must cut a very large hole to mount it through.
The long rod version is even worse
Expensive when coupled with the position switch
Extremely loud and offensive noise, worse than an old Lionel switch
Requires high current to operate
Unrealistic instant operation
Does not hold the turnout in position
The metal tabs that hold the machine to the turnout are UGLY
If you cut the rod off the long rod version with a Dremel while mounted in the turnout, you DESTROY the turnout instantly by melting the tie rod.
Very hard to mount when the turnout is already in place.
Hard and difficult to install 
OK, I mellowed out on the rating.
