What are Hand Point Switch Panels?
The Hand Point Switch Panels are manually operated switches used to change the position of a set of points on the railway which are the movable rails that guide trains from one track to another.
The switch has 2 positions N which stands for Normal and R which stands for Reverse. With the points set to the N position, this is the position that the points are normally set in so in this case it is for the departure of trains along the main line.
Someone can then come along and turn the switch to the R Position to change the direction of the points to allow trains to move in and out of the 9-13 sidings. These Hand Point Switch Panels are also fitted with LED Indicators to show which position the set of points is currently in
