Title: Wanted Peco PL-11 Surface Mounted Point Motors
Post by: port perran on January 03, 2021, 02:41:17 PM
Hi

Peco Point Motors seem to be out of stock everywhere.
If anyone has any surplus to needs, I'd be happy to buy them from you (inc P&P of course).
Ideally I'm looking for four but could manage with three.

Many Thanks
Martin

I've several motors, Martin.  But I don't think I have the mounting plates for above-baseboard use.

Best wishes.

John
Aha.....I can buy the mounting plates, they are in stock, it's the motors that are like hen's teeth.
If you have 3 or 4, I'm happy to pay the full rrp for them. That is assuming you no longer need them.
I have plenty of Seep under board motors but for where the motors are needed on Trepol Bay, I can't fit them in.
Cheers
Martin

I've been caught out!  I sneakily edited my post when I checked the Peco catalogue and realised that PL-11 is the new-style surface-mounted motor that lies alongside the points.  I've one of these.

But your subsequent post gives me hope that it is the traditional type (PL-10) that you want.  I have a mild profusion of these.

Now that I have caused confusion,  :-[ would you please advise what kind you are after.

Best wishes.

John

Hi John.

It is the PL-11s that I want.
Where the motors are to go, it won't be possible to use the PL-1os without a lot of trouble I'm afraid.
If I was starting again from scratch I'd use Seeps but I don't really want to do that.
When you talked about mounting plates, I assumed, wrongly, that you were referring to the PL12 adaptor plates.
It's all very confusing.

Thanks anyway

Martin

Certainly confusing once I got involved!

Anyway; I have one PL-11, unused, which is now yours.  I have abandoned Twentieth Century remote point operation in favour of poking at them with sticks.

Best wishes.

John

Possibly a dumb question but Peco state the PL-11 is for OO/HO ?

Do they work OK with N ?
