Hi all.
I have finally got around to installing the first two point motors at Charmouth and have hit problems:
when installed under the points, they don't consistently throw. The points themselves are in good order, if on the elderly side.
(Even disconnected from the points, one of them seems only to work in one direction, so possibly faulty?.
1. Would a CDU (Capacitor Discharge Unit not Frau Merkel's Party!) possibly resolve the problem?
2. With a CDU, am I asking too much to throw two points (a crossover) simultaneously?
3. Any other thoughts/experience?
(Gaugemaster, with Peco points and Peco passing-contact switch, 16v ac feed, though I suspect those make no difference.)
Mamy thanks in advance.
