Description
The Circuitron 6006 Tortoise Slow-Motion Switch Machine 6-Pack is a 6-pack of the iconic Tortoise switch machine — same product as the single 6000 but at a meaningful per-unit discount.
What it does: Six Tortoise stall-motor switch machines — the industry-standard slow-motion under-table machine. Each drives one turnout with a ~3-second smooth throw and then stalls to hold the points under constant gentle pressure (just like the prototype).
- Quantity: 6 Tortoise switch machines
- Type: Slow-motion stall-motor (under-table)
- Throw time: ~3 seconds
- Auxiliary contacts: 2 × SPDT per machine
- Power: 9–16 V DC (reversible)
- Compatible with: Any standard turnout (Atlas, Peco, Walthers, ME, hand-laid)
- Circuitron SKU: 6006 (Walthers 800-6006)
Tip: Step up to the 12-pack (6012) for the best per-unit price on medium-to-large layouts. Add a 12-pack of ZipZ (6606) for solderless installs.
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.
