Unless you are running clockwork or live-steam trains on your layout, electricity plays a major part in keeping the trains running. You may also have accessories like signals or lights that run on electricity, including operation of your points. This point motor from Peco is the simplest way to motorise a set of points. It is designed to clip onto the side of any Peco point and is pre-wired. It requires a pulse of electricity to operate and this can easily be provided via a Peco PL-26 passing contact switch.
