To operate 4 points using servos etc. Would mega points be the way to go or is there another alternative at a cheaper price?
Cheers guys

Re: The Patchole and Bugford railway plans
I think i see what you mean, and yes. I think it could work out better that way. Will probably include that in, during the layout building in hopefully about a months time.
