As I've been doing some routine maintenance to point assemblies today (I get almost 100% reliability from the motors, but not, alas, from the microswitches) I've taken the opportunity to add a page about wiring Peco points. It's a bit basic for established modellers, I'll admit, but it is a question that crops up repeatedly from beginners - especially as much misinformation abounds about 'wiring for DCC'. Hopefully it'll help somebody, somewhere.

In a similar vein are a couple of basic examples of computer control, designed to illustrate the speed and simplicity of this approach when compared to the laborious task of constructing and maintaining traditional control panels. Obviously it's something that won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I know an awful lot of people out there just don't appreciate how little there is to it.
