Plate 103:  Close-up view of a surface-mounted Hornby R8014 Point Motor (arm extended)
(This plate added OCT 2003)

Similar to Plate 102, but the sliding arm of the point motor housing is in the extended position, thereby pushing the moving rails of the point to the curved side. When the moving rails are pushed to the curved side, a train entering the point (from the lower left in this view) will be guided to the straight side of the point.
