Noticed these listed while browsing through evilBay.... handy for anyone with continuity problems on point blades, who wants an easy screw-on fix without having to (a) lift the points, or (b) start soldering jumper cables onto rails......?
Screw-In schienenanschluß Brass for the Garden Railway G SCALE NEW | eBay
While the intention (at least as far as I can decipher the rather poor automated translation in the listing) is that the power cables are run directly back to your main power feeds, if you use railclamps anyway for track joints then I would be inclined to cut the cables short and simply put the eyelet tags under the screws of the nearest rail join clamp to the point.
Of course, many people will happily do their own low-cost fixes with soldered jumpers, and would most probably consider something like this an unneccessary outlay - but they are not exactly expensive, and I could see cases where their ease of installation might win out, especially as soldering direct to brass rail is a bit of a knack as well as needing a very powerful iron.....?
At the very least, they offer another alternative to fix the problem.
