I want to refer all other information and instructions from train
experts, does any tell me where I can find most useful contents about
these?

There are other automated points out there, and mine copy some of the features
seen on those points.

The point works reliably at power settings of 1 or 2 (the first or second notch
on the LEGO speed regulator), but if you turn up the power on the LEGO speed
regulator to 5 or 6, the motor that moves the point will pop off.
