There are lots of good ideas out there for remoting the 9V train points so
here is mine to add to the list:
Attach a short length of string to the movable points bit and run the string
out through a hole in the rail, attach the string to the shaft of a 12V
actuator unit or any other mechanist that can gently tension the string.
Thats all there is to it, 99.9% Lego, the remainder being the dab of glue to
attach the genuine Lego string to the moving piece.
It is best to mount the actuator in SNOB* format, attach the string by
threading through the slot of a Technic collar then gently push the collar
onto the shaft just far enough to grip the string.
One draw back is that the electrical circuit is not changed.
