They come with a switch stand, point motor, decoder, and polarised frog, and once you assemble they work pretty well. However the linkage between the point motor and the switch blades lever is a single metal pin which is dropped in from the top and is not secured - and if you tip the points upside down (for example once it is installed on a module which is placed in storage) I can see the pin just falling out and getting lost. Has anyone had experience with these points? What do you do to secure the pin? The instructions are pretty minimalist... Richard

The brass pin can be seen in the attached photos. The pliers managed to flatten the pin on the underside of the points, but it's tricky because you need big enough pliers to be able to squash the pin, but they need to be small enough to access the small space around the end of the pin. Oh well, another tool added to the collection!
