The last entry I can see to this topic was 2012 - has there been any updates elswhere?

I moved to the area 2 years ago and live about a mile from the proposed site of Beaminster Junction. Now that I have the house sorted, I've time for modelling. I've decided to model the same site, but with a slightly larger scope - with the station being joint SR / GW and a branch northwards towards Somerton as well as south to Bridport via Broadwindsor.

I'm especially interested in the Tite station building - and if anyone knows of any models that might be adapted to suit (I'm a lousy scratch builder!)

Thanks for your replies everyone - I've fiddled around a bit more with Fulgarex, Tortoise and Tillig motors over the last couple of days and I've decided to go with Tillig - mainly because (as Anthony says above) the throw with the Tillig motor is that bit better and shallower - which is ideal because my fiddle yard will be below the main boards.

It's now onto some serious track planning... somewhere in the Crewkerne area - a mainline LSWR junction station with an imaginary GWR branch north towards to the GWR mainline and southwards to Bridport.  I have about 27 x 20ft to play with, so I'll post some initial plans as soon as the builders have finished the garage conversion !

I'll be using Tillig Elite points on my next OO gauge layout.

I've tested both Fulgarex and Tillig slow action point motors recently. The Fulgarex don't seem to be strong enough to create a strong bond between the point blade and stock rail, whilst the Tillig motor (even with adjustment) only just gets there.

Is there another make I should try before committing to buy 20+ motors ?

I'm not using DCC so no complications there.

There is an option to use some of my old Seep solenoid spring latching motors with Tillig points, but I'm worried that the strong solenoid "thump" would destroy the tie bar on the Tillig point...

Anyone have any ideas or experiences ?
