Good point about the handbrake on Magneto Cars.

Thanks for that information, very helpful.
Both my cars are Dynamo'd, so that at least will not be a problem!
There is the remains of an ancient (unconnected switch - that works!), but I think I can run to switches from someone like Auto Electric supplies (£6.79 plus £2.20 for a rubber cover!). They also do 4 way junction boxes (57mm dia) for £3.69. - I will change the lid screw which has a anachronistic Cross+Slot screw!
On early cars I don't think there were junction boxes as the electrics basically seemed to just go from A to B!
It will be a problem in a coil car if you power directly from the battery unless you have an isolating switch and turn off each time you stop.
I wouldn't put a brake switch on the handbrake, but I suppose the interconnected cars have this .
