It's been a long time coming, but the saga of my point motors had to come to a conclusion eventually. You may recall that I played around with surface-mounted solenoid motors, found them to be inadequate, and decided to look at slow-action motors. That's pretty much where things stalled.

Point motor Shoot-out, Pt. II
When I first played around with point motors not too long ago, I came across some differences between the Peco and Hornby motors I used, and at the time I thought that I wouldn't mind using the Peco motors (and therefore Peco points) throughout my layout.
Point motor Shoot-out
When, as a kid, I was mucking around with my TT-scale setup, there were precisely two kinds of points (or turnouts) you could buy: manual, and motorised. The motorised points were strictly surface-mounted, there was nothing else, at least not in that scale and from the available suppliers.
