    Lovely looking Albatross, too.

    Ah, I meant that I didn't need a switch at the point, to change-over the frog polarity, as I was using insulfrog points and the points themselves will sitch electrically themselves. If you use electrofrog points, as you are, then you'll need a switch to control the frog polarity. My points, as shown (badly) in the picture, were manually operated, by cables, from levers at the board edge. It was intended as an answer to "Besides motors, is there any other way to move points without the 'hand of god' descending?"

    I didn't need a switch as I was using insulfrog points and relied on the blades for switching. This may help - http://www.greenwoodmodelrailway.co.uk/wiring-electrofrog-points.html and this - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/2443-Wiring-quot-Live-Frog-quot-points?highlight=points

    Remote mechanical operation is possible. I've done a few operated by rod and Bowden cables, where the angles are awkward. It's even possible to make pairs operate in unison, as shown by this rather poor picture of the underside. The points are operated by a pin going up through the baseboard.

    Never been - and it's only a few miles away - I can always go another time - if it was further away, I might make more effort...

    I have a Saudia Boeing somewhere. That last one of yours seems to have an engine problem..

    With a bit of warning, I might have got up early and waved at you...

    RolyKit boxes come in various styles and sizes - they're handy for keeping small items segregated, especially if working on the move. Each section is covered as it's rolled up, so each compartment is sealed - partitions are supplied to make smaller sections, too.

    Apparently, you can use any name to reserve a seat...

    Could be the rain - washes the dust off and gives a bit of 'shine'..?
