After 34 years, our supplier for the special, very low current motor used in the machine shut down their production, causing us to scramble to find a new motor supplier. In later 2019, a couple of major changes are occurring with the TORTOISE™. Also ideal for powering many of CIRCUITRON’s electronic circuits when a filtered DC power source is specified.
Sufficient to power up to 30 TORTOISE™ Switch Machines.
3 position Semaphore control can be achieved with the addition of the SD-2 Semaphore Driver.ġ10 volt AC wall plug adapter outputs filtered 12 volts DC at up to 500 milliamps of current. Can drive 2 cables from the one mechanism, if desired, for dual crossing gate installations. The t otal travel can be adjust ed between 0.1” and 0.7” for use in all scales. There are fully adjustable, p recise, stops provided at both ends of travel for excellent repeatability. Signals of this type include ones manufactured by NJ International, Tomar and others. Mounting bracket and mechanism utilize the TORTOISE™ (not included) and a special drive wire cable assembly to remotely actuate any crossing gate, train order board or upper/lower quadrant semaphore signal having a vertical control wire extending below the layout.
