very good
I like using these for model railway. They are small, and fit in between track. These are good for any model railway.

Nice but expensive
Easy enough to mount and wire, but a bit tricky to connect to the point tie bar - you have to tease the actuator arm out and fiddle about to attach the little hole to the lug on the tie bar - often as not the actuator disappears back inside. Recommend using the screws provided, but do not overtighten as this can easily compress the action so that motor won't move the points. The gap that the motor actuator works through is very narrow and has no tolerance; if the point and motor are not perfectly horizontally aligned, the lug on the tie bar will bump against the slot in the motor housing and either won't go in or come out reliably. If you get them both flat, tends to work fine. Find that they do better with a CDU and on 16volt AC. Seem very reliable once you've got a good free movement arranged and they are essential if you've got point work on bridges or on overpass sections where there's no room to mount points beneath the baseboard. Also good option if you don't want to cut holes in the baseboard, or can't face grubbing around underneath it. Very pricey though.

Ne semble pas prévu pour du HO
Rien n'est indiqué, mais semble ne pas être prévu pour du HO. Le trou de raccordement à l'aiguille est minuscule avec peu de matière autour et donc trop petit pour la commande des anciens aiguillages HO. Autrement, le matériel fonctionne parfaitement si la transmission est possible.
