TMC Launches New Solenoid Point Motor Range!

The TMC Solenoid TMC-PM.1 is a continuation of the very popular Hattons HAT-PM-01, manufactured by DCC Concepts for Hattons. This point motor also won Hornby Magazine’s 'Best Solenoid' award.

TMC-PM.1 is unique in that it can be mounted either under-board or on the surface, thanks to the clever crank which is pre-fitted to the motor body, but It measures 50mm x 39mm x 22mm and is pre-wired for easy connection, with a pin extension kit and screws included in the pack.

TMC-PM.1 is also available as a three-pack to offer even better value – TMC-PM.3.

TMC’s solenoid turnout motor can be mounted above or below baseboard tops using small screws through the four 3mm diameter mounting holes. Of sturdy metal construction, with a powerful throw the integrated pivot creates a reverse crank, while a second opposite-axis crank provides more options to ‘throw’ turnouts, operate signals or animate a scene of your choice. The unit can be used to power N, TT:120, OO, OO9 and O gauge turnouts. Crank mounting holes give options for 6- or 7mm long throws. Units are supplied pre-wired with a 140mm-long pre-tinned cable ribbon for hassle-free linking to a screw-terminal block, or for soldering to existing layout wiring.

Make it DCC!

We've developed a control board with DCC Concepts, too, which adds DCC to the TMC-PM.1. The TMC-DEC.1 gives control of any solenoid motor from a DCC command and is powered directly from the bus. It incorporates a CDU to fire the solenoid motor so no additional power is needed!

TMC-DEC.1 is also available as a three-pack to offer even better value – TMC-DEC.3
