RMweb Gold Rumrat Posted July 16, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hi, I have built a small inglenook layout, and I would like help wiring the points. I have a Hornby r7229 controller; which is able to control accessories within the railway. How ever after searching the Internet far and wide, I can find no information anywhere. There is a CDU built in to the controller, I have the Peco PL-34 wiring loom (which has 3 wires, red, black and green) just to add a little more confusion. I would appreciate it, if some one could draw a really simple diagram for me. Thanks Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokebox Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Presumably you have a switch with the Peco wiring harness and some instructions? If not, search ot Brian Lambert's site, electrical section. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAF96 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Take a positive from the controller to a switch (sprung centre off). From each side of the switch to one pole of the solenoid, then the common from the solenoid back to the controller negative. Repeat for other points, noting that you can ganged the positives and negatives from the controller to a terminal block for distribution to the other switches and points.

RMweb Gold Rumrat Posted July 20, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hey RAF96, thanks for that. I didn't want to buy a cdu as the R7229 has one built in, just needed a little help. Your explanation is wonderful. Thanks a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
