Point Motor (Switch Machine)

Turnout Motor (Switch Machine)

The PL series of Turnout Motors is tried and tested, over the last 40 years we have sold literally millions of these motors. Simple, reliable and good value. Requires a rectangular hole 40mm x 24mm when clipped directly to the underside of a Peco Turnout. Use the PL-12/12X if above baseboard mounting is required; attaching PL-13 and 15 Switches will enable switching for automatic polarity etc.

Recommended to be used with:

• PL-26 Passing Contact Switches
• PL-34 Turnout Motor Wiring Harnesses
• PL-27 Switch Console Units

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.

Unless you are running clockwork or live-steam trains on your layout, electricity plays a major part in keeping the trains running. You may also have accessories like signals or lights that run on electricity, including operation of your points. This point motor from Peco mounts under the baseboard and has an operating pin that passes through an elongated hole in the baseboard and fits into the hole in the tie-bar of the point. It requires a pulse of electricity to operate and this can easily be provided via a Peco PL-26 passing contact switch.
