LEGO 4531 Manual Points with Track is a Trains 9V set released in 1991, containing 6 pieces. It provides a pair of manual switch points—left and right—with yellow ground throws and accompanying curved track elements for routing 9V trains. The set was intended for the 9V system used by contemporary models such as 4558 Metroliner and 4564 Railrunner. Following 2003, LEGO shifted train track molds to dark bluish gray, making this an example of the earlier dark gray 9V track.

A new and sealed Manual Points with Track is currently valued at around $60, with annual growth of approximately 2%, which is lower than other 9V sets. The average used price is $31 for those in good overall condition. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $61 within the next year. New and sealed listings currently range from $52 to $72.

“You get a right branching and a left branching switch, and they have a straight through part and a branching part to them. The straight through part is two straight track segments long, meaning it will replace two straight sections in your main track. It comes with two round... More track pieces to straighten out the branching track. It has the dark grey color scheme of all other 9V track, with the shiny metal "capping" on top.”

“The Lego 4531 Manual points is a 9 volt version of the switch track from previous years. The 4531 is one whole piece, while the other switch rails were made up of different pieces, you can’t just dust it off and play. When you move the switch, you move the electric rail to... More connect to either curve away, or go forward. The set includes 6 pieces, two of those being the switches, the switch track, and two curved rails.”
