Just thinking more about this (for my 00 line that I am putting servos on maybe) so I can hip hop 2 power wires to each sevo and only need 1 further wire to each point for the signal? Which is the control wire.
Servo Controlled Points
- Thread starter GAP
- Start date
The Black (sometimes brown) is negative.
The Red is positive.
The White (sometimes orange) is the signal wire.

Found a little unit on line for about £4.00 that may help with servo points LINK It has a push button that you press once & the servo goes to a full throw, press again & it comes back. Turn the black knob & you control how far the throw is. This will also do 2 servos at the same time withy the same throw, which could be handy for track cross overs. For a remote switch you would have to solder two wires to the boards push button.

That looks like a better option than using a servo tester

There is even a better alternative, but unfortunately there is a price rise. LINK TO SERVO SWITCH @ £I9:84 & was hoping for a Chinese version at 50p. But no luck.That looks like a better option than using a servo tester

There is also one on eBay LINK that looks ok, but you have P&P for Italy.

Just ordered one. There was another £5 or so for delivery and tax, but I got a £2.57 discount voucher as well.
