## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Easier than I thought
  

*by E***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2020*

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.
