Adding point motors

[poliss]

If you compare the Peco and Minitrix points you will see that their mode of operation is completely different. Most point motors have a pin which locates in the hole in the switching mechanism and there are also holes in the Peco point for fitting of the motor. You will notice that the action to move the points in the Peco version is at 90 degrees to the Minitrix points and also that there is no hole in a Minitrix point lever for the point motor pin to fit into. Although I suppose it would be possible to modify the point motor or point lever in some way it would be difficult. I would suggest that fitting the Minitrix point motors upside down, or changing to a different make of points would be far easier.
