High-performance turnout point motor with extended pin - discontinued by Peco
This point motor is now discontinued from Peco's range. Suitable alternative point motors include the PL-10, PL-10E and HAT-PM-01 (sold separately.)
Peco have released a statement regarding the removal of these point motors from their range which is copied below.
"When introduced, the PL-10W and PL-10WE motors were targeted at the continental market, where traditionally analogue transformers were rated with less amps than those available in the UK. But in actual fact there was very little difference between the original motors, and the newer "W" versions. With the introduction of DCC it was also perceived that the "W" versions were preferable. Over the years we have carried out testing with numerous DCC systems and found that in reality the standard PL-10 is more powerful. So in order to simplify the number of motors available we have decided to drop the PL-10W and PL-10WE from the range permanently."
