Description
PECO PECOLECTRICS
Twistlock Motor and Microswitch
TwistLock a basic electric solenoid motor, for operating (in the main) turnouts and Microswitch for option to switch polarities, or to operate signals or panel lights etc.
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). Butno 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 attachmounting 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 positionand will remain firmly attached when operated. An extra operating bar, and spacers for the studs is included with every motor, enablingthe above-board mountingof the motor where needed.
