Very interested in these PECO motors as I'm just finishing a siple layout for my son and I'm having 'trouble' with the current Hornby point motor.

Does anyone know if this motor is OK on AC and fitted to a Hornby curved Point.

However, the Hornby motors should also be OK - what is the actual problem with them ?

I'm building my son's trainset in a large draw underneath his bed, therefore, I'm having to suface mount the points motor. This is causing problems, whilst Hornby supply an extension bar so you can locate the motor out of gauge, it seems to be impossible to get the positioning correct for reliable operation

Any idea's will be most welcome.
