Description
The Circuitron 6200 SMAIL Slow Motion Switch Machine w/ DCC is the SMAIL — Slow-Motion Actuator with Integrated Logic. A Tortoise-style stall-motor switch machine with a built-in DCC stationary decoder (NCE Switch-It™ technology) — just two wires to the DCC bus and you're done.
What it does: Same physical size and mounting as the iconic Tortoise, so you get the silky slow-motion throw and rock-solid point pressure modellers love — but with a built-in DCC accessory decoder. Two-wire connection to the DCC bus, no separate power supply needed. Works with any DCC system that supports accessory address control (NMRA or Digitrax signal modes). Can also be controlled by panel switches or detection circuits.
- Type: Slow-motion stall-motor switch machine + integrated DCC decoder
- Mounting: Same as Tortoise (use template 6190)
- DCC: 2-wire to DCC bus, no separate power supply needed
- Decoder: NCE Switch-It™ technology (enhanced)
- Aux switches: Internal SPDT contacts, 2 A AC / DC
- Also controllable by: Panel switches, detection circuits
- Circuitron SKU: 6200 (Walthers 800-6200)
Tip: For non-DCC layouts or where you want to keep the decoder separate, use the plain Tortoise + a Switch-It / SMAIL Lite. Save 12-pack money with 6212 if you need 12 or more.
About Circuitron: A USA-made model-railroad electronics specialist (Maryville, Illinois) founded in the 1970s. Famous for the industry-standard Tortoise slow-motion under-table switch machine and its surface-mount cousin the SMAIL. The full range covers detection (block detectors, Opto-Sensor grade-crossing logic), automation (auto-reversers, external relays, twin-coil alternators), signal / lighting electronics (alternating flashers, ditch-light oscillators, strobe drivers), power supplies, and a complete set of Tortoise / SMAIL replacement parts plus the solderless ZipZ connection system. Most circuits work with AC, DC, or DCC track power unless specifically noted otherwise.
