Jack Phelan has hidden the Lionel tubular switch machines on his layout. You can see pictures of them on the TM Videos Twenty First Century Trains I believe is the title. He custom made all sorts of things that sit on top of the machines so that you do not notice them.

If your talking Lionel switches this is what I've been doing in an attempt to disguise those plastic monsters. Exposed wires look awful in a landscaped setting.

Photos?
