This is something that happens a lot, and your initial response is probably going to be one of horror at the value of the point motor you have supposedly just wrecked. But don't worry, all can be fixed.
There is an extension pack called a 'Solenoid Extension Pins' set, and it comes complete with extension pins and joining collars so you can add them to your point motor's existing pins.
