Lar and others:
The 8 wides WILL hit that box going through points. My DD40 cannot spur off
on a set of points unless the actual yellow point switch is removes, as it
ovehangs on the inside of the curve by too much. The box is way further
inside. Take a 6x48 train and you will very likely have the same results with
that remote point box that I have with the point switches. That was why I
suggested putting the point motor UNDER the switch, as it can be placed
anywhere and be very large and still remain hidden and not a problem.
