Point Motor advise

#1

Post by station master »

Gents I am looking for your guidance once again!

I have started the basic wiring of my point motors, cdu, switch to a solenoid point motor works fine, but now how do I add additional point motors?

I get the fact I need another switch but do I just simple link all together or is it more complex

If you have all your proposed switches in a line you can connect the + power from the CDU across the centre tabs of the switches by soldering a length of single strand copper wire to each tab and connect that to the + on the CDU, then connect the - from the motor to a multi connector and then a single wire back to the CDU.
Lots of info here www.brian-lambert.co.uk
