As I have a spare left hand point to use, I have included it in my basic fiddle yard design for the shunting yard layout. This consists of two parallel tracks that will represent the branch line railway station that exists beyond the cutting, tunnel or over bridge scenic break on the left hand end of the layout (I haven't decided yet exactly how this break will be made). This will act as a glorified head shunt but also as storage sidings for a couple of trains of wagons. I will look into how best to make the electrical connections between the detachable fiddle yard and the layout but will probably use the brass strip contact method, combined with some locating pins or locking mechanism of some sort.
