This is the Tortoise Slow Motion Switch Machine suitable for all Scales.FEATURES: This represents the very latest in high technology design. Utilizing a precision gear-drive mechanism coupled to a micro-current draw motor which safely stalls out, cut-off contacts and coil burnouts are a thing of the past. The fully enclosed construction with Circuitron's ultra-simple mounting and linkage (included) and the simplified wiring with auxiliary contacts standard combine to make the very finest switch machine available at any cost. Designed to mount under the layout, with the spring wire transmitting the linear motion through the layout board and roadbed to the turn- out throwbar. The 3.5" x .025" spring wire provided is suitable for layouts having a total roadbed/baseboard thickness of 1" or less. Substitute the wire if your layout thickness is greater than 1". It can be mounted centerline if necessary for special clearance applications. DPDT auxiliary contacts. Printed circuit board. Nine year limited warranty. Detailed directions. Directions provide two different mounting methods.INCLUDES: One Slow Motion Switch MachineREQUIRES: Mounting to Layout Wiring Phillips Screwdriver Punch or Hobby Knife Drill (3/32" or #42 Drill Bit) Rosin Core 60% Tin, 40% Lead Solder Small 25-35 WATT Pencil Type Soldering IronCircuitronPart MDP6000 Review: Exactly as advertised - A long time model railroading buff, I've used Tortoise Switch Machines in my layout for years. Due to space consideration it was necessary to match my originals. These were a precise match. The price was right and they were delivered in a few days. I would recommend this seller to friends and purchase from them again. Review: Awesome unit - I have installed 10 of these on my layout. I use both the SPDT toggles, one for track power and 1 for LED. The only drawback i have found in all 10 units is that there is a small bleed over of dc power to the non connected SPDT side of the toggle. Im consider myself a good solderer so i know its not that. Other than that it function beautifully.

Too much work to install on my layout. I returned it for a refund. Be sure to read the installation instruction before ordering it.
