Ive just got to grips with wiring Peco point motors and polarity switches Etc but have just discovered the reverse of the Y point is different , with no different instructions . There is no wire from the frog for instance . I know that I can still fit the point motor but I wanted to improve slow run...

I want to contribute a few wee articles with photos but I use an I pad and the photo files are always too big .
Is there any way you can alter the file sizes on the site here as you upload them .?

Again great Rob so Ac supply to point motors with a CDU in series.
You should be charging people for all this , you’d make a fortune .

Thanks Suzie appreciate it .

I thought you ran the point motors from the 16v ac supply . . Surely the 12v power is variable depending on how much “ throttle “ you apply from the controller .. ?

Only one more question ...for now .! I thought you ran the Seep Pm1 motors from the 16v ac . Surely the 12v supply varies depending on how much “ throttle “ you apply from the controller ?

Rob , that’s brilliant , I can kind of understand it straight away . My first thought was that it’s a hell of a lot of power feeds but Im going to follow this to the letter . I’ll do this first and worry about the point motors once the train is running correctly . I’ve ordered one Seep PM 2 to try i...

Rob , thanks very much for your time and help and anyone else . Il have a good look at this in the next few days
I really appreciate it .

So can anyone give me a rough outline of feeds and rail breaks so I can try it out .?
I’ve trialed what I thought was correct but I’m getting shorts and I can’t figure out why .

Thank you very much , so I’m only running one loco and maximum simplicity required !

I may try to put in the Seep point motors with polarity switches if I can learn more . I’m studying on U tube !
Would this affect my initial track wiring ?

Thanks Suzie, I’m now having problems with sending file sizes ! Maybe you can get the idea from the photo and stand on your head ! I’ll keep trying .

layout plan .upside down !


It’s basically a 2 lane fiddle yard , reversing loop and a couple of sidings I’ll sent a drawing later today , the right way up .

Hello folks , I’m new to railway modelling after a 45 year break . I’m building a small industrial end to end model in 00 and decided to use Peco electro frog points . I can’t get my head around the basic feeds and isolated rails etc . I wonder if I sent a photo of the track layout ( only trial fitt...
