Easy wiring #45; two#45;wire connection possible Review: Easier than I thought - I've been improving my model railroad skills since starting my third layout. I didn't want the Atlas switches next to the track so was using the ground throws. I finally gave in and bought my first Tortoise and was nervous about hooking it up, especially the wiring. Turns out when using the DPDTs with screw on terminals, these are a breeze to install and work very well. My only question is, why can't they include the screws? I mean come on, its four screws and would save me a trip to the hardware store when I find I run out. Review: They have been installed for a year with no malfunctions - I have ten of them on my layout and they function great. I have them wired with LEDs to show switch direction and they function perfectly ## Features - Prototypical slow#45;motion action #45; three seconds to complete throw - Precision#45;engineered gear drive mechanism - Convenient auxilliary contacts #45; two sets SPDT provided - Easy wiring #45; two#45;wire connection possible - Package Quantity: 1 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00F2LTMGA | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #243,715 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #127 in Industrial Basic Switches | | Brand Name | Circuitron | | Color | Green | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 40 Reviews | | Educational Objective | 1 | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Circuitron | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 96.00 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 6010728 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Number of Players | 1 | | Operation Mode | Automatic | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Size | Small | | Subject Character | Tortoise | | Supported Battery Types | Battery Powered | | Theme | Action | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Circuitron Tortoise Switch Machine Single Pack CIR-800-6000 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+Gp6FT7-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does it come with everything to connect to track?** A: just connect your wiring from power to tortoise. it comes with full instructions. **Q: Do you sell parts to these motors?** A: Separate parts for the Tortoise Switch Machine are generally not available through retail means and would have to be obtained directly from the manufacturer, Circuitron. Additional metal wire may be available from various retailers. **Q: Can this be applied to O gauge?** A: Yes it can be applied to O-Gauge. You just need to change the wire gauge to a bigger, stronger one. **Q: Do they work with dcc systems** A: Short answer is yes. You need a separate power supply for them 12-18 volts. You can run them with a simple DPDT switch or you can get very sophisticated and have your DCC system control them. I opted for the simpler route. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easier than I thought *by E***D on December 24, 2020* I've been improving my model railroad skills since starting my third layout.
