Installing control for points meant finding somewhere dry to hide the controllers.
Lineside huts made a good place for these as did the signal box and other buildings.

To change the line by the pond, a bridge was designed and eventually installed at the end of December.
The next task was to install Digital Control on the line. This was an important part of the use of two lines as all the engines and points could then be controlled from a central handset.

A second line was added across the patio and points changed accordingly.
