Description
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.

Tortoise Remote...
Ingenious solution for tight or obstructed mounting areas. Looking forward to getting them installed
-
Difficult to mount in low clearance...
Bought three Remote Tortoise Mounts to address tight clearance and adjacent structure issues. Mounting between layers of track (after layout build) is very difficult due to required screws to mount remote head being installed from below. Also - instructions have you add 2" to Teflon tubing for NO apparent reason - leading to drive unit being mounted further away than desired or planned.
