Ive tried mechanical signal operation in the garden with rodding which works but not 100% reliable and Mr Bond has given me an idea in respect of his pneumatic operated brakes applied to his award winning coach. This technology could also be applied to signal and point operation. Brandbright have a kit but is well expensive this couls be a cheaper option. Im sure to give a go!

Keep us posted!

There's a pneumatic system out there for point and signal control (From memory, you use a car tyre for the air pressure) BUT if you check out the aquarium shops, there's loads of little "air bubble" accessories for fish tank decoration which include piping and junctions/joiners!

the Del-Air system. GMES use something very similar on their out of reach points. Would be ideal, not much short of broken air hoses to go wrong.

I think I'll stick to the "hand of god" method as the rabbits like soft bits of plastic!

I guess that would make 'em taste a bit odd when they're in the stew pot
