CIRCUITRON Tortoise Slow-Motion Switch Machine - 8006012 (12 Pack)

Circuitron Tortoise Switch machines.

I have installed over 3 dozen of these machines and I found them to be relatively easy to to install.
I pre-wired mine using all the leads wired to an 8 position dual row barrier strip. I may never use all the connections but I wanted to be set up while it was easy to do. Installation is forgiving if you are somewhat imperfect in lining up the switch to the hole to your turnout. Several other brands will probably work just as well but I like the protective box these units have. Additionally, I found them to be dependable and I think they have a 9 year warrantee.

First rate in every aspect

I ordered two of these 12 Pack Slow Motion Switch Machines separately and they were delivered to Australia in record time 10 days for the first and 12 days for the second. No problems with any of them. Have previously purchased them in Australia but it's cheaper to order them in bulk direct from here.
Easy to install, wire up and operate. Currently only using them to operate the points but there are obviously further options available.
Highly recommended.Read full review

Circuitron Switch machine

The Tortoise slow motion switch machines
are great for model railroads. The current
production units are easy to wire with the newer connectors that don’t require soldering.

Best turnout motors

Tried others, like the Tortoise the best. Very durable. Easy enough to install and use. Motorizing the turnouts keeps my fingers and shirtsleeves off the scenery so no damage.

Very Durable and dependable, but draws a little more power than I would like in full stall mode.. With the right 12 volt power, it is an excellant sw
