Solinoid Point Universal Driver - SPUD


As featured in Railway Modeller, and used on the Bridgebury Gate exhibition layout owned and operated by Russell Hobbs, the SPUD offers the benefits of traditional capacitor discharge units but without the disadvantages. It will also handel the switching of the frog rails without the need of using an additional aux switch on the point motor. Each SPUD can be driven from a simple low current on/off switch, or any similar form of automation. Additional relays can be added to give control of signals etc.

The main advantage is that the wiring to the point can be small 7/02 as the high current wiring is local to each point, so no more thick gauge cabling running the length of the layout thus reducing the chance of power drop out that is often associated with traditional CDU's
