TwistLock a basic electric solenoid motor, for operating (in the main) turnouts.

It is powered by a normal 16vAC 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 motor is supplied with a template, which the modeller uses to accurately mark the position of three holes that need to be drilled. The two outer holes are used to attach mounting studs beneath the baseboard. The larger centre hole is where the drive pin of the motor is positioned and threaded through the tie bar of the turnout. The motor is then simply twisted, and locked, into position and will remain firmly attached when operated. An extra operating bar, and spacers for the studs is included with every motor, enabling the above-board mounting of the motor where needed.

Provides the short burst of current required to operate the PL-11 and PL-10 series of Turnout Motors. The PL-31 Connectors are ideal for attaching the PL-34 Wiring Looms or PL-38 wire to these switches without soldering; the included Shrouds prevent current 'shorting out' between the terminals.

The vital link. Your model railway will be so much easier to extend and maintain if you adopt a colour code scheme for the wiring.

Makes wiring the PL-10 series of Motors quick and easy. Just a simple push fit onto the motor terminals; the other ends are tinned and ready for the PL-39 Terminal Block, PL-50 Switch Module Unit, or PL-31 Push on Terminal Connectors.

Simply connect the wires from the brush and scraper directly to your layout power supply and apply them to the driving wheels, one on each side.

This fits directly to the PL-10 family of Turnout Motors. The 2 single pole changeover switches can be used to control polarity, route selection diagrams, or 2 aspect colour light signalling etc. Rated 16v 2amps (continuous) or 2.5amps (momentary).

Allows the PL-50 Switch Module to be extended to any size required.

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. An extended drive pin is fitted, use the PL-9 Mounting Plate to attach this unit to the underside of the baseboard. Attaching PL-13 and 15 Switches will enable switching for automatic polarity etc.

2 Adaptor Bases are included, with optional extension arms, to enable PL-10 Turnout Motors to be mounted on the surface of the baseboard. This unit relies on the over centre spring in the turnout to keep the blades against the stock rail.

This unit enables a PL-10 Turnout Motor to be mounted on the surface of the baseboard, an optional extension arm is also included. A removable over centre spring is fitted, useful for turnouts which do not have this feature.
