Re: Wiring Gaugemaster seep point motor

I'm currently connecting PM1 seep point motors to DCCconcepts solenoid decoder. I know distances between both should be kept to a minimum where possible. My question is what's the maximum distance recommended between the point motor and solenoid decoder. Any advice welcome. Cheers
