I like these. They have a more realistic sideways movement rather than an ark like some servo mounts. They have been in use on my layout for over a year now and have proved very reliable.

I am a Merg Member there is in the 3D section of the website a modified version of the Merg mount that rectifies some of the shortcomings mentioned. Also there is a mount by Bob Gledhill which I am using which can be used in all positions with a true linear motion just like the Dingo but comes in three sections which clip together. You are also correct about the cheap servos I have used digital tower pro ones. You can check the nasty ones have they can manually rotated with no end stops.

I bought a large batch of what I thought were "good" servos, having evaluated a few different ones -- but when my large batch arrived, there were ones both with and without end stops mixed in to the same set, all under the same branding. It appears that the correlation customers expect between the product branding and the quality level doesn't always hold up the way we'd hope it should...

I strongly recommend the Dingo version if you want microswitches. The plastic in the MERG version is too slippery and the switches do not stay in place. Also, you can get the Dingo mounts with longer screws and extra microswitches.

I haven't had that problem with the MERG mounts -- although it should be noted I use the nuts included in the microswitch kit and do not use the plastic spacers, which I found to make things more difficult. There are many versions of the Dingo mount available -- the ones for semaphore signal gantries with multiple very close together operating rods are particularly interesting.
