They have two cables from the solenoids which I have tried connecting in the same way as the latter 5100 series points to 7072 control panel but this does not work. Some also have lit direction indicators with seperate wiring ground and light circuit no problem Garteful for advice as to how to connect the solenoids Regards David

I then discovered I have an old 474/4 control panel which has a simple push button, and obviously was designed for those old points and all work despite their age. The 7072 control panel also works. We should meetb up sometime, I'm not far in Burbage by Marlbourgh. 07989 748147. ive quite and eclectic collection all gauges all ages!! At moment am working on a simple display of my analogue 1930s to 60s Markln for the Alresford Model Railway show in Alresford on 18 June.
