The brass tube and music wire are used together to transfer motion from a control panel lever to the railroad turnout. A cam system is incorporated to turn the direction of the motion 90 degrees. I have used this system for about 15 years now on my n-scale layout. I like the feel of being able to throw the turnout switch without electronics or touching it directly.
Groovy!
