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.
The idea of Digitrains was conceived over the dinner table and grew very slowly as doubts calmed missionary zeal. We finally took the plunge in January 2005 and are fortunate to be dealers for some of the best and most user friendly DCC equipment available.
