Dave, thank you for asking.  I have some Caboose Industries ground throws.  They work great.  This location has very easy access when I am in the aisle outside the loop.  So far I have been operating mostly from inside the loop.  I took this photograph holding the camera up high to try to get a better view.

The switch in question is on the right in front of the enginehouse that I sat back against the backdrop for the time being.  Looking forward from there you can see a 24"x24" section of Mianne benchwork with both levels of track visible.  Then in front of that is a temporary narrower section of plywood with two risers supporting the high line with a steam engine on it.  That lift out section will be replaced with two lift up bridges, power stopping interlocks, and a manual latch.  I would prefer manual switches for less wiring, but regardless of which side of the lift up I am on when operating, I will be on the wrong side for some switch maneuvers.  I am thinking I am going to need to be able to operate some switches from either side of the lift up.
