Wiring peco point motors

Basically, the point motor needs a brief surge of current to switch it. The black wire is the common. Connect this to one terminal of the power supply.

N gauge point motors and wiring them - Electrics. Here is the long awaited video on how I install point motors on my layout. If you have any questions please feel free to post them below!

The wiring of this motor is the same as the Peco motor above. Either a complete hole the size of the motor can be made and the motor in then fixed to the points, as in figure 1. Basic point wiring diagram with Hornby R0passing contact switch. Points accessory switches. Peco PL-accessory switches fit directly onto Hornby point motors.

This item is New and UNOPENED. But this guide should hopefully help. The only big difference is that Peco point motors come in either long pin (PL-10E) or standard pin (PL-10) length, so you have to decide at the store, were as all Hornby point motors come with an extension arm. You can also buy a switch (PL-13) which mounts on to the bottom of Peco.

In the above circuit when the red wire. The Peco motors fit directly to the points via twist tabs, under the point slide switch. A significant size rectangular hole (38mm x 23mm) has to be cut in the baseboard to accommodate the switch. An auxiliary switch is available, which can be glued to the underside of the point motor.

Peco Lectrics wiring is the vital link, your model railway will be so much easier to extend and maintain if you adopt a colour coding system for the wiring. A trusted range of electronics suitable for wiring up model railway layouts. Our switches, wires, point motors etc are available at competetive prices. Now to wire up the electro-frog point to the motor.

Start off by connecting the frog wire (Purple wire ) to the “F” contact on the point mo. Ref to postage please read update on Delivery page ! Orders over £get free delivery UK only. It is only the centre wire (in my case black) of both the point motor and switch which are wired to the low voltage power output and can share a wire with other points.

The turnout has wires connected to the sections of rail. When I look more closely the throw of the seep motor is quite a bit longer than the peco equivalent and the peco point. So, it appears the point is restricting the length of the seep motor throw an I think, causing the buzz as the coil is still trying to pull the solenoid but being stopped by the point. If I take the seep motor off and limit the throw with my finger I get a similar buzz. How to fit SEEP point motors.

Michael Campbell details his approach. Motor operated points make a huge difference to layouts. As MRE reader Andy Richardson explained in this profile of his layout, they make a tremendous difference to the enjoyment of operating a layout. But as anyone who has ever tried fitting them knows, installation is often problematic.

The concept is easy enough.
