Dead rail vs frog juicer

Track and electrical/DCC

I'm a complete novice at DCC. I found this diagram on one of the DCC sites (and I've forgotten which so I can't give credit, sorry).

What's the state of the art in preparation of flex track for realistic appearance? I'm thinking spray track grey or brown, then detail paint individual sleepers/ties. Then lay track and paint rail (rail brown) with a paint pen then further weathering.

Is there a good guide in a mag or online?

Berrett Hill Touch Toggles and Arduino for Servo Control

Track and electrical/DCC

Hi. I have read Peter's (pierre52) Servos 101 and Geoff Bunza's Modeller's Introduction to the Arduino. I need some guidance on how to proceed. My layout will have 10-15 turnouts. I would like to control them with servos driven by an Arduino. I would also like to use Berrett Hill Touch Toggles to do the switching. But what hardware do I need to make this all happen?

I'll keep this initial post short, and provide details in the next post.
