Once it's wired correctly the point spacing can be drawn in much tighter to
give a more realistic look so there is tangible benefit from the extra

I've had an idea bouncing around inside the vacuous areas of my brain to put
the insulators somewhere along the closure rails and have the points
permanently connected electrically to the running rails to allow the closer
spacing Dave talks about. This would also allow a much sturdier and reliable
point hinge.
I've been doing something along this line with converted Atlas switches,
anyway. I also have wired the insulated frog on one and control the polarity
with a micro switch. I have some Old Pullman #5's that are due for shopping
anyhow. I might try this with them.
I have also taken Old Pullman switches with the solid point-to-frog running
rails and deformed the point/closure rails so the throwbar is forcing them
apart, rather than trying to pull them apart, reducing the number solder
failures between the throwbars and the points.
