Title: cobalt analogue point motors
Post by: John Prior on April 30, 2015, 12:15
hi all

does anybody have any experience of using these point motors on 009 systems.  they look to be an effective way of control but i would like to find out more before spending what is a lot of money.

regards

I have two of these on my micro layout, they were easy to set up and have so far been reliable driving and frog switching peco crazy track type turnouts with the over centre spring removed.

I have used a redundant phone charger to run the two, so operating voltage about 5v, which gives a satisfacory throw.

hi Andy

thanks very much for the information.  That is what I hoped to hear, so I will get organised now.
