Building A Modular Model Railway! - Episode Ten: How To Install Point Motors

In this layout update from the modular model railway I show you how I install point motors on the layout!

Yes that's right, it's time for another layout update on the modular model railway and today is a big one. I've never had a layout with motorised points before so this is really exciting for me and it's really great to get an idea of how the layout will be operated in the future.

Of course there's lots of options out there for installing point motors, from SEEP solenoid motors to Servos and everything in between. Luckily I've found a great system called Megapoints Controllers who have made the whole process really easy but also gives me lots of options for the future too!
