I tried to find a simple way to mount the servo under the table to switch a point. This is very low cost and also very easy to do. It does not require high accuracy, the piano wire bends and 'absorbs' mounting innaccuracies.

I did not remove the spring in the PECO point. That means the strength of the piano wire needs to be enough to overccome the force of the point-sping. Some people take the point spring out, to see the point move slowly. That is a choice.
