I have had problems with other passing contact switches sticking and burning up my turnout motors. The design of the Peco PL-26 eliminates sticking with a spring that immediately breaks contact when thrown. Additionally, unlike other passing contact switches, the actuating lever remains in place after throwing which tells you which way the turnout is set when you look later. I highly recommend this switch.

these are great switches they are very precise at changing track direction i use them whenever i am able. switch lever could be a little beefer
