Thanks so much for the very helpful and incredibly prompt replies above! What a nice forum this is! I've asked The Boy for further information about his set up and he tells me: "I have an analogue set up and the problem I am facing is that, although I have wired 3 sets of points into the back of the controller and they are functioning well, there is not enough room to plug more in, and I also want to plug some small lamps in . Is there a device that can take power from the mains and feed it into directly into the point motors and circuit without having to put it through the controller (hence taking up more room in the controller.)" I've just looked and he has an HM2000 controller. I have no idea if it's helpful but I include a photo Thanks in advance for any advice.
