Jeff,
I may get one just to play and experiment with some. I have used the SwitchMasters on my buddy's HO layout, 90 so far. I have used those and the Tortoise on my own projects. The Tortoise are a bit noisy with gear grinding, but I do like the built in contacts. The SwitchMasters are a bit more work and lack contacts, so I have to add those for my powered frogs.
What I really like ate the Mole machines from Proto87Stores. They are cheaper, small and relatively quiet, still add a relay for the frogs and you have to do a bit of assembly. Probably my new favorite right now. The Rapido looks like it is worth investigating if one wants working switch stand targets. One might be able to rig something similar with the SwitchMaster but it would involve some work.
Best,

Cool product! They should add a bracket for mounting it to the side of spline roadbed (their instructions sheet make it look like they’re mainly thinking about foam board).
Cheers,
Jeff.
