Production Details:
The Circuitron Remote Tortoise™ Mount consists of a molded base mechanism to
which the Tortoise™ (not included) is mounted. An adjustable lever arm is
fastened onto the Tortoise™ output and drives a stainless steel wire inside
a flexible Teflon tube, much like a sub-miniature choke cable. This thin
wire attaches to a compact actuator mechanism and is mounted beneath the
turnout. It includes a spring wire and brass tube to transmit the motion to
the points above. The mounting bracket (with Tortoise™) may be secured in
any position and up to 18” away from the turnout points—even above the
layout inside a structure, if desired. The points actuating mechanism
requires 1/2” clearance under the turnout sub-roadbed. The RTM is fully
adjustable for all scales and brands of turnouts.
