<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Supply of Kato track (as recommended by previous posts) is proving difficult and so long delayed that I may have to resort to Peco track on my projected N gauge layout. I am disabled and wheel-chair bound so therefore want my point motors surface mounted. Have any of the 'regulars' ever tried driving points from remotely mounted motors through some form of 'Bowden Cable' so that the motors can be taken to the edge of the base-board or hidden under convenient scenery? Suppliers of suitable cable or suggested alternatives appreciated.
Hi Stirling welcome to the forum,
Having read your postings on here i have some ideas for you possibly,
Decoder installation for your 14XX Digitrains can provide this service for you give them a ring 01526 328633 i'm sure Chris there can sort it out for you, their charge for installation is £12.50 plus the decoder as TCS M1 should be suitable priced at £16.50 they will be fine this plus postage of course.
Here is digitrains site .............

Another option to the 14XX is Dapol's 45XX a beautiful well detailed smooth runner.
Have you contacted MG Sharp for Kato points as they are a better option for you of course, Bowden cables will need to be hidden in some way and still have free movement of course, on contacting MG Sharp ask for Ken there he isnt always there but can give you options in points and availibility of course.
As for using the site here ask for any help anytime thats what we are all here for.
