Peco is simplifying its Pecolectrics turnout motor range, announcing that the PL10 Turnout Motor will be phased out in favour of the PL10E Turnout Motor. The decision follows a review of the two products, which share the same motor design but differ in their installation arrangements.
The key difference is the extended pin fitted to the PL10E, allowing it to be installed from beneath the baseboard without requiring a large mounting hole. By comparison, the standard PL10 attaches directly to the underside of the turnout and requires a larger hole through the baseboard.
With both motors offering the same core functionality, Peco has decided that continuing to supply both versions is no longer necessary. The PL10 will therefore remain available only while existing stocks last, after which the PL10E will become the continuing option in the range.
For model railway enthusiasts planning new layouts or maintaining existing points and turnouts, this is a useful change to keep in mind when selecting and purchasing Pecolectrics turnout motors.
