What to do when you snip a point motor pin too short ?
Sometimes we all make little modelling mistakes, but what can you do if you have snipped your point motor's pin too short?
This is something that happens a lot, and your initial response is probably going to be one of horror at the value of the point motor you have supposedly just wrecked. But don't worry, all can be fixed.
There is an extension pack called a 'Solenoid Extension Pins' set, and it comes complete with extension pins and joining collars so you can add them to your point motor's existing pins. These sets are ideal for extending point motor pins, but also for repairing ones that have had, shall we say, an accident!
