I've got a mild obsession about correct signalling, and this small detail is strictly a part of that. It's probably obvious, but these little objects indicate a point's position. I made a simple crank from rod and scrap etch, working out the throw distance from the tiebar's movement. I didn't get it quite right first time! The cosmetic details are Auhagen, and happily are ready painted- I do not have steady hands. They also have the lever for hand thrown points, but I'm not even going to try and make that move. I drilled a hole in the bottom of the indicator to take the rod, and in the baseboard a short length of tube holds the rod in place and allows it to turn freely.
