Yes, Huw, that is correct. However, why not have internal metal wires in the
point? I would think it easier to make it so that the take off was from within
the tie bar than to have the external connection. However, I would view it as
entirely possible that this is a preproduction model.
Someone else commented on the problems of the box being hit by trains, it
shouldn't be, since it is onto the other end of the switch, so it should clear.
