Plate 164: Building a locomotive service yard, Part 30: a sub-surface Hornby R8014 Mark 2 Point Motor seen from beneath the roadbed
(This plate added OCT 2003)
|
The point motor has now been temporarily wired according to the methods described in Plates 105
through 121. That is, the stripped ends of the red and green wires from the point motor have been "V-shaped" and pushed into
the thin hollow plugs on the corresponding wires from an R044 lever switch. Likewise, the black "common" wire has been "V-shaped"
and mated with a wire coming from the AC binding post of the train contoller.
