far-lands,
About Bizerba's comment, it is the black Hornby 'passing contact' switch, part number R044, you need for switching the point motor. This allows just a short pulse through the coil to switch the point - if current is allowed to flow continuously the power supply will be overloaded and/or the point motor will overheat and be damaged, which is why you need this particular type of switch.
