I have checked wiring and ensured the motors are not screwed down too hard. The points move freely when operated manually. Any ideas please? Incidenatlly, I am very grateful for your time in helping me.Make sure the wiring is correct. Hornby point motors use black as the common wire, Peco surface mount motors use green.Hi Rog - brilliant thanks. I was using green as common. All is now working Ok. It is a pity the Hornby Points Leaflet or Elite Manual make no mention of any of this for us beginners. They seem to be written by an expert who overestimates the knowledge of beginners like me. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregd99 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Agree with your comments re the elite manual. there are rumoured improvements around....I think that the leaflet that can with the point motor describes the colours of the wires.
