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.

These are great machines for your model layout. They work well and have several additional functions that can be used for signaling.

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

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.
