Point (Turnout) Control

As part of my latest extension I have four points (turnouts) to provide moving between parallel tracks (photo below). Previously my points have be electronically controlled either by R/C (Revo), or remote switches. However, due to the location (a distance from my power supply) and the fact I don't envisage these being used much, and am considering using manual control, and possibly a small lever frame close by, connected by rodding. I have seen the Bowden cable method, and this is a second choice, by as I have said my first choice is cracks and rodding. So advice please and parts and suppliers please.

Bamboo stick of appropriate length would work well to flip points across, also save you bending down.
