RMweb Gold pirouets Posted February 8, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2010 I have bought the double slip that my challenge layout needs, and am fairly sure that I understand the wiring diagram, but I want to be 100% sure. It shows part of the wiring going via 2 micro switches, and I was wanting to check that I can use the seep point motors which include a micro switch? I will do a test set-up of this before I fix it to the layout to ensure that I understand the wiring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Yes, you can use the micro switches on the Seep motors as far as I know. I myself have used PECO PL-13 switches on PL-10 motors for a similar task, and it's the same principle just different manufacturer of parts. I've found this website which might help: http://www.sodigi.com/new_page_10.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold pirouets Posted February 8, 2010 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2010 Thanks for the link. Just need to go and surprise Alton models with another visit to get the second motor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevpeo Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 We tried to use the SEEP motor switches for the frog polarity on a Peco double slip on Coppell. We found there wasn't enough travel on the tie-bar to operate the switches. We swapped them for Peco motors with micro-switches, works fine now. hope this helps, kev Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsOatcake Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 SEEP motors can be used with double slips as can they with any other turn out. Make sure you get the ones with the integral switches. I use PM1 myself under all of my turnouts. So of the wiring shown will not be neccessary if it is a single track and controlled by one controller. Things might be a bit more involved if you're using DCC or requiring analogue control over the double slip by two controllers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my post under Hints and Tips re the N gauge double slip--you can overcome any polarity problem with another pair of motors. John. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
