You’re the second to last person on the planet not to have heard about these point motors. What a neat little piece of equipment!

@ChadwickModelRailway Год назад

I think we must’ve been hiding away RL. Regards, Charlie

@mikehebdentrains Год назад

Nice to see the marriage of old fashioned piano wire control with a state of the art digital motor. It used to be recommended to include an 'Omega Loop" _Ω_ bend in the piano wire which would take up any excess pressure (or perhaps deliver a bit more positive pressure) depending on how it was adjusted. This might help anyone who finds their points don't throw completely. Also, of course, users of different designs of point motor need to use a "momentary" or "passing contact" switch to avoid burning out the coils if power is left on - although using a Capacitance Discharge Unit (CDU) with those can protect against any faulty switches. 10,000,001 congratulations! Mike

@ChadwickModelRailway Год назад

You make an excellent point Mike, which I believed derived from people not adjusting the length of throw. Regards, Charlie

@cymrych79 Год назад

10 mil views, wow, that's fantastic!! Congrats Charlie!! Perfect timing; I picked up some MP5s a while ago for surface mounting on a round-the-ceiling shelf layout that needs to keep a clean bottom side, but haven't seen many videos about them at all. Glad one of my trusted go-to YT railroaders such as yourself is taking a look at them. Thanks a ton from across the pond!

@stevetrossell4255 Год назад

Wow, what thorough coverage of a piece of equipment you have not encountered before! Impressive. Other viewers may be interested to know that I have been using a significant number of MPI motors for about 18 months and had no reliability issues. Mine are driven by iTrain through Digikeijs decoders - brilliant. The reason for the dodgy looking wire arrangement on the surface mounted ones at the top of my helix is to allow some tolerance in the travel which is normally provided by the vertical rod when mounted under the layout. Without that tolerance, I found that the motor might stall before the end of its travel and then not respond to the command to return.

@ChadwickModelRailway Год назад

Thanks Steve, for an interesting comment. Have you changed the length of throw to 3 mm? Regards Charlie

@stevetrossell4255 Год назад

@@ChadwickModelRailway Good question Charlie! I have left them all on the default 6mm setting, thinking that 3mm would not be enough for the Peco points. (Thinking that 3mm was for N gauge) I have also left the springs on the points because there seemed to be no need to remove them. Reading a couple of forums just now, it seems the optimal setting is 3mm as you say, but with the springs removed, at least for the lower powered MP1. Maybe I should make a ‘Mistakes’ video 😂 Regards, Steve

Yet another concise clear explanation so even wiring dummies (like me) can understand. Congratulations on the channel milestone. Arthur

@ChadwickModelRailway Год назад

@OPHYCLIDE Год назад

Congrats on your achievement. I’ve been running my layout with these motors for 3 years. No adjustments required, no failures. Springs left in. FWIW, you’ve actually missed a trick… similarly I have a couple of these motors that couldn’t go directly below the point but they have been “surface mounted”… just not the top surface. I used wire bent in a a shape in order to keep the motor underneath the baseboard and mounted them off to the side. Wire is held to the bottom of the baseboard with some pan head screws nipped up and backed off just enough to allow free movement. All the best, Jon.

@ChadwickModelRailway Год назад

Great information Jon, many thanks, regards, Charlie

Congratulations! Well deserved. It's the way you modestly entertain and inform. A lot is above my head but I love watching to see how far our hobby has come since the 60s. The way you solve problems ,and make mistakes, on line is so reassuring. Even you make mistakes ! I then don't feel so silly if I do. I keep all the episodes for reference. I absolutely love DCC and your way of dealing with it and adapting different approaches is very informative . Love also your "no frills" Unbiased assessments Of different products and manufacturers Keep us the good work. Here's to the next 10 million . It proves people in our hobby have good taste.

Morning Charlie, I've been watching you do your wireing for a long time now, and I can honestly say for the first time " it makes sense " for me you've assumed and pitched this just right and do you know what I'm going to have a go. Thank you Charlie I always enjoy and marvel at your courage of stretching yourself showing you mishaps, but having a go. If I can get something like this to work then the sky's the limit. Just every so often back to basics works I'm sorry if it doesn't for the more knowledgeable but it does for me. Take care Charlie, Eddy xxx

Well firstly Charlie, huge congratulations on your 10M viewer achievement, as you say - that’s a staggering number ! Its not only well deserved, its also a reflection of the quality of the programmes in terms of interest, help and entertainment value - not to mention your wonderful sense of humour ! Anyway, MTB Point Motors. As with many of the topics you present, this one has been well timed. I’m finally just putting together the boards for Phase 2 of Pevenbourne which will include the installation of the helix. I was aware of the issue with point motors being required in a position above the lines below of the helix (if that makes sense !) so, with James’s help, had identified a need to use MTB motors. By doing so, it opened up new possibilities for the track plan I eventually settled on. I’ve always used Cobalt iP Digital for Phase 1, but due to reliability issues with them, I was looking for an alternative for Phases 2, 3 and 4 of my layout. You’ve demonstrated the many benefits and the flexibility of the MTB motors incredibly well in this video, they’re going to be ideal for the future phases of my railway. Ok, I’ll need to factor in DCC decoders (probably I’ll use Yamorc) but otherwise I think these motors are going to bring significant improvements at Pevenbourne. Thanks again Charlie, time for a beer (or glass of wine or a G&T) to celebrate your incredible milestone ! Cheers 🥂🍻

@Dave_at_Its_My_Model_Railway Год назад

Another great video Charlie and congrats on 10,000,000 views :) However, one small point, I am a little concerned that there is no strain / tension relief in your piano wire, from an engineering point of view I think you should have a kink or upside down "u" to take any strain off the switch mechanism to cope with any difference in the length of travel between it and the point and to allow for expansion & contraction...

Furthermore, congratulations on reaching the 10 million views milestone (I know how much I contributed to that 😉), but it's a combination of thoroughly excellent production and your manner - you're incredibly engaging and you don't hide the 'mistakes' which go a long way to making us lesser mortals feel 'normal'. Sincerely, thanks for all that you bring to our incredible hobby, here's to the next 10 million!

Thank you for that video and congrats on the milestone. When I said before that I'd hoped for a clearer explanation of servo point operation, that was much clearer than I got from the MERG stand at an exhibition. I think that the difference is that the MERG solution uses servo controllers that have to sit near the servo and they have to be set up with the travel limits electronically, whereas these motors use physical means of setting the travel. The latter being far simpler for the likes of me, I'll order a few MP1s and give it a go. Barry.

Entertaining as always Charlie. A very informative video even though all my point motors are old school. Just this afternoon one of the wires has come off so its under the baseboard with the soldering iron!! Not the easiest thing to do! Great to see you've reached that milestone as it's thoroughly deserved for the way you present your channel. All the best to you.

Secondly, I got very excited by your presentation on thee MP3 / MP6 point motors and I rushed over to the DCC train automation site to order a box of them for my layout currently in build. But sadly, they are not availalbe at the time of writing this. So it looks like its back to solenoids and Cobali IP digital for now at least.

Hi Charlie. Great to see your video on the MPx series from MTB Model. Been using them for several years now. We are currently using the MP5 with one contact set used for the frog and the other contact as a feedback. However, keep in mind when using the contact as a feedback for position is somewhat "faulty", as it really doesn't show the true position of the motor. The reason for this is, that rotating shaft is working the internal switches and thereby essential working contact set as a relay, either position A or position B. This result in the contact switching as "on-on" and not "on-off-on", which would be much more preferable, as the "off"-part would indicate the motor as running. If that is okay, you can always add a fixed delay to your signalling logic and thereby not providing a green signal before the motor has completed the switch. If you cannot accept this fact, that is a "on-on" and not a "on-off-on", then have a look at the MP6, which is the same size and general functionality, but also includes "true" feedback, where the feedback connectors are only "high" when the motor has completed its movement. The feedback signal has the voltage of motor voltage, i.e. if you run the switch motor at 12 VDC, then the feedback would be "on" providing a 12 VDC signal. Oh, on top of the true position feedback, you still keep your two individual "on-on" contact sets. Btw, you can safely remove the spring from the turnout, as the MPx is more than capable of holding the position. (and yes, haven't seen all the video yet :)) Regarding the Digikeijs devices, please note that the company has been declared bankrupt by the court in the Netherlands, so don't expect to see any new sales except from what would be in stock. Best regards, Lars

Hi Charlie, In truth while it is an amazing figure, I am not shocked. It is precisely because your aim and emphasis is all about enjoying the hobby that makes it so watchable. It helps that the layout is interesting with lots of features like the helices, double junctions and TMD to look at and watch develop, but what helps even more is the ‘bread and butter’ nature of your videos and the invaluable info you provide 🤔 Speaking of which, I owe you (another) favour because i now know the answer to the question I kept asking myself: “what can I use to power my points and accessories that is powerful, reliable, doesn’t cost a bomb and will work brilliantly when eventually I start to use DCC?” The MP5 looks a magic bit of kit, not least because of the extra terminals but more important, the connector block. Brilliant idea 💡 I like that they are still small enough to disguise straightforwardly, but can move reliably enough despite being set back a fair way as they seem to have a lot of torque 😎 And so simple to adjust or adapt for scale! Superb! 🤓 If you’d realised how good they are would you have maybe gone for them say in the fiddle yard as a more economical altearnative? 🤔 Cheers fella, hope you’ve had a great weekend 🍻👍🍀

I was recently at an exhibition and came across Dingo Servo Motors for both point control and semaphore signal control. The working displays looked superb. If I hadn't recently installed 137 dcc concepts IP digital motors I'd have definitely given these a trial. They were silent, smooth and the signal bounce replication was uncanny. Although strictly not the topic of this video - surface mounted motors - I thought you may be interested in their existence (assuming you're not already). Some really clever attributes.

Congratulations Charlie for 10 million views. Once again another very informative video, of particular interest to me are the MP1 and MP5 turnout operating units. Living in New Zealand, I do miss out some products that would be of interest to me. Even though I have made numerous P4 turnouts that are all operating very well by the steel wire in brass tube method, there are five or even six turnouts that I have laid, but yet to be operational that are quite distant from my normal control area. I’ve looked at the Peco servo turnout motors and the Cobalt turnout motors, but these MP1 turnout operating units look to be the easiest surface mounted slow motion turnout motors to install. Thank you for showing. Regards Barry 🇳🇿.

Dear Charlie, love your thorough explanation of these MP2 and MP5’s. Cool to see the functionality of these turnout motors. Kinda interesting that you remotely operate this switch no. 83 with the MP5. As a fan of Tortoise it will be cool to see the differences in mounting and operational advantages between these motors and Circuitron ones with their remote control appendage. Anyhow, even though I think a paper cover over the channel for the piano wire will work excellently, I recommend you to watch Steve Muskoka’s vid on how he remote mounted a Tortoise, with either a straw or a brass pipe covering the action of the wire. Very cool feature of these MP motors is that their action is completely in line with the throw bar. Meaning, there is no strain put on the throw bar. James from Bexhill West made his own attempt to perform such action with a regular servo. However, these contraptions are way smaller and adequately perform in similar fashion. Definitely will take a look at these machines for my layout, especially for the turnouts on the elevated part. Cheerio

10 Million views - terrific! That's the equivalent of every single person in Wales+Scotland+Northern Ireland having watched your videos! As always a very good look at the options Charlie. Just today I got email from DCC cpncepts about their new mini-motors which are also very small but offer direct DCC control without the need for interface boards such as the Digitrax and Digikeijs ones you instanced here. I think I might be looking at those! At about £25 each though they will have to get cheaper, but I expect they will do once the development costs have been recouped. I think for the electronically minded builder, they would have to get cheaper because a home-brew equivalent - such as an ESP-01 (8266) microcontroller and vanilla servo motor combo commanded by ESP_NOW over direct WiFi (i.e. no router needed) could be implemented for well under £10 - though of course with a lot more integration effort and know-how required. It's the old time-versus-money equation again!

I use the mp5 point motors on my layout as surface mount devices on the areas where my knees and back won’t allow for access underneath. And, yes, you need to keep the point spring in place. Cobalt and Tortoise use continual drive motors, which carry on turning when the point blades have been thrown. The mp5 motor only moves the set amount then stops so you need the spring to hold the point blades in place. My layout is a square donut with approximately half hinging upwards to allow access to the rest of my man cave. On the hinged section I have used Cobalt motors because I can stand up and work on them. On the other half, where my knees don’t work, I use mp5 motors. Congratulations on your award, it’s well deserved. Your channel is informative and clearly presented with a touch of humour. Well done!
