Also a great video from Chadwick Railway here.
• MP1 & MP5 POINT MOTORS...
Thanks for the video! I was looking for exact a video like this to show, how to wire up a MTB point control with the DR4018 and could not find any. So far I was told that I need a DR4102 for the frog to switch the frog power. You prove that it is not needed!
NO this is not needed at all you are right.
Great video thanks. I've ordered some of these motors from you and already have the DR5000 and DR4018. Once I'm setup with the 1st six I'll be ordering more :)
thanks you clearly explained everything I needed to know about them and also showed the noise they generate well. going to be a lot better than clunking solenoids.
Great explanation, thanks! Going to wire them up myself (MP1, Peco code 55 unifrog and electrofrogs) later this week. This sure is helpfull!
should make a video installing these with the track
Are you able to do a video of the MP6 and MP10? Really like how these move the rod like a solenoid PM and their slim form factor. 👍
i was very surprised how quiet the mp1 was , it is far louder in your videos
hello Rob i guess it was because it was on a wooded ikea desk that is hollow.
Hi there. I'm glad that someone in the UK carried out the presentation of these fantastic MTB motors. Would you be please able to confirm whether the cheaper version MP1 can cope with Tillig Elite point? I'm planning to purchase quite few of them for Tillig Elite track material, so it would be good to know this. Also, would be great to see another film showing full connection to the point, including frog, LED indications etc. Thanks and kind regards.
Filip78 Channel yes these will be ok with Tillig track yes.
@@DCCtrainautomation Many thanks.

I'm confused... are the two blue wires the same as the red and black from the dcc bus/droppers .. or seperate? How does it not all short out?
Hi there, great video! Just a quick one, do you think it’s advisable to remove the spring from the Peco points when using the MP1 motors? I’m thinking I should but not sure. Thanks
Hello Shaun
Yes you can take out the spring.
Hi, the MP1 looks great for DC controlled points, and the installation looks good too - I love the adjustable height of the rod.
I use DC for all my point motors, and would like to keep my old passing contact switches, would these work with the MP1?
Thanks
Yes this would still work!!
@@DCCtrainautomation Thank you, much appreciated.
Hi, thanks for the reply. I've purchased 1 MP1 to try, but I'm having trouble getting it to work via the passing contact switch - any chance you could give a basic wiring diagram? Many Thanks@@DCCtrainautomation
Hi James, Great video.. I have a couple of the MP1's here with a 4018 that I bought from you guys a while back. I'd like to understand if its possible to split the outputs so that I can host a couple of points and a couple of 2 aspect LED signals as well?. If these sound quieter with the 3mm movement over my Cobalt IP's so I might change all my points to these..
Hello Alan
Yes you can have the other outputs of the dr4018 working different items yes
@@DCCtrainautomation is it straightforward ?. the manual didnt allude to it.
@@BanditEssex when you start to think about it simply yes.
Hi, I purchased a few of these for my N scale Peco turnouts. I did adjust the plastic pin for a 3mm throw. But when I connect it to the turnout, it wants to move further. Is there an other adjustment I can make ?
Please, can you advise me, which of theese can be useful if I will drive 1)point 2)polarity 3)LED ? (DC)
Great video :-)
But how can I get the feedback, that the point is actually thrown? I can't find any documentation :-(
I've got a Digikejis DR4088RB-OPTO to 'get the information' from my MP5. Is it possible, by any chance?
Hello John yes this is possible yes. You can find examples here. www.dcctrainautomation.co.uk/blog/point-detection-with-dcc-concepts-accessory-bus.html
@@DCCtrainautomation Oh sorry - I overlooked that :-(
I was looking for an example with the MP5. I'm not that good at electronics yet, so I hoped I could find a MP5 example for my Peco Insulfrog points.
But many thanks for Your answer :-)
What happened to Digikeijs?
Hi, do I need to use preset at all? Can I just set up point motor one by one, as you shown just before getting to the preset?
Can you explain how to wire up the mp1 on a peco double slip turnout?
(Sle 390f)
Hi do I need a DR4018 to run your points on dcc,with a momentry switch or a peco pl 28 switch thank you Brian
Hello Brian
If you want to drive them by DCC you need ti use an accessory decoder. It does not have to be the DR4018 no. But the DR4018 is not available anymore. You can also use the YaMoRC 8116. Or many others what DCC system are you using?
@@DCCtrainautomation HI a nce power cab
Do the MP1 and MP% both work for PECO n-scale code 55 turnouts?
Yes they do. Work a treat.
Thanks for sharing. I have an Intellibox II, now I bought an MP-1 to test and I can't connect it, how can I do it? Thank you.
Paulo Pires what accessory decoder do you have?
An accessory in a Spanish store, but it's not working. Now think about the possibility of the DR4024, will it be possible with this accessory?@@DCCtrainautomation
Paulo Pires you need to use if you are talking about the Digikeijs brand to use only the dr4018 to drive the MP1 the DR4024 is only for servo control.
I appreciate the answer. Can you help me with the connection diagram between: MP1 - DR4018 - Intellibox II? Thanks.@@DCCtrainautomation
it doesn't work. the MP1 keeps spining once I've done what you said. can you help
Sounds like you have a blower out put. Did you set CV47 to 6?
@@DCCtrainautomation yes i did. what is a blower out put ?
I solved it. the problem came from my tablet that had addresses (1 to 8) not allocated for motors, but lights. Thanks for you video
