Plate 115:  Installing a Hornby Point Motor: where the wires go, Part 11
(This plate added OCT 2003)

This view is almost identical to Plate 114, except that the plunger has been thrown to the right toward the "red" solenoid, thereby moving the vertical connecting rod to the right. The sliding arm in the R8015 base plate is now in the "extended" position, and the point blades will now guide a passing train onto the straight track.
