The Peco PL - 1000 Twistlock Turnout Motor is a top - notch electric solenoid motor designed mainly for operating turnouts in model railways.

TWISTLOCK MOTOR

This TwistLock motor is powered by a standard 16vDC supply and can handle up to 3 amps. It's fully compatible with all PECO turnouts up to O gauge and many other well - known brands. The best part? You don't need to solder wires to the terminals or cut large holes in the baseboard.

Each motor comes with a template. Use it to precisely mark three holes to drill. The two outer holes are for attaching mounting studs under the baseboard. The larger center hole is where the motor's drive pin goes through the turnout's tie bar. Simply twist and lock the motor into place, and it'll stay firmly attached during operation. Every motor also includes an extra operating bar and spacers for the studs, allowing above - board mounting when required.
