Famous for the industry-standard \u003cstrong\u003eTortoise\u003c\/strong\u003e slow-motion under-table switch machine and its surface-mount cousin the \u003cstrong\u003eSMAIL\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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 \u003cstrong\u003eZipZ\u003c\/strong\u003e connection system. Most circuits work with AC, DC, or DCC track power unless specifically noted otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn stock at Oakville Model Trains Depot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Circuitron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45098453434550,"sku":"800-1100","price":18.74,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/5131\/1286\/files\/57_697aa819-4e02-48e3-81d2-256a89dcaabf.png?v=1779571085","url":"https:\/\/oakvillemodeltrains.com\/products\/circuitron-1100-strobe-flasher-amtrak-style-new","provider":"Oakville Model Trains Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
