Electrics

Explaining the whole process of building a layout, from the planning and inception stage, right through to adding the final scenic details, and everything in between, this book is the essential guide! With both practical advice and step-by-step articles, every chapter explains each stage with clarity, supported by full colour diagrams and photographs. Although aimed at those new to the hobby, and…

The most reliable, discrete and simple method is to clip one of these directly to the underside of a Peco turnout. Requires a rectangular hole 40mm x 24mm.

TwistLock is still a basic electric solenoid motor, for operating (in the main) turnouts. It is powered by a normal 16vDC supply (and can take up to 3 amps) and is fully compatible with all PECO turnouts up to O gauge (and can handle many other proprietary brands too). But no longer will any soldering of wires to the terminals be necessary, nor the cutting of large holes in the baseboard. Each mot…

Designed for use with PL-9 mounting plate. Use this if you do not wish to cut a large hole in your baseboard. Drill a hole, 9.5mm (3/8in) through the baseboard beneath the centre of the tie bar.

Suitable for LH or RH turmouts

The PL-12 Adaptor Base should be used in association with most non-PECO turnouts, where the over-centre spring feature is not available. It can be affixed above or below the baseboard, and give the modeller the ability to "lock" the point blade in either position when used in conjunction with the PL-10 Turnout Motor. The PL-12X Adaptor Base (Un-assembled) remains fully available, and is ideal for…

Wherever access under the baseboard is not possible, this Adaptor base with extension link allows the turnout to be operated from the trackside No Spring The PL-12 Adaptor Base should be used in association with most non-PECO turnouts, where the over-centre spring feature is not available.

Simple, inexpensive switch easily fitted underneath the Turnout Motor (PL-10) to provide electrical switching for frog polarity, signals etc. Suitable only for OO/HO and larger scales. Rated 1.5 amps.

Easy to assemble unit with two microswitches to control the polarity of live frogs whilst simultaneously operating panel indicator lights. Complete with illustrated instructions. Rated 2.5 amps.

Simply connect the wires from the Brush and Scraper direct to a 12 volt DC power source and apply the Brush and Scraper to the driving wheels, one each side.

A simple yet effective method of turnout motor operation. Studs in a track plan panel are wired to the motors which are then operated by touching the studs with the probe along the route. Silver plated.

Use this switch for controlling isolated sections of track or to operate accessories. Single Pole On-Off.

Use this switch to control colour light signalling or use two ganged together as a polarity reversing switch. Single Pole Changeover Switch.

Provides the short burst of current needed to operate the PL-10 Turnout Motor. May be ganged using the Joining Bar PL-24.

Six-bay panel which can be expanded as required

Makes a neat job of mounting your lever switches into a mimic diagram or home made panel.

Pack of 10 1/4 watt, 1000ohm.

Pack contains 10 Red LEDs, 10 Green LEDs and 20 Panel Clips.

Pack contains 10 Connectors & 5 Shrouds.

Designed to make wiring the PL-10 Series Turnout Motor as simple as possible. No soldering required.
