Product Description

TORTOISE & SMAIL Drilling Template

Details:

The CIRCUITRON Tortoise™ Drilling Template is a precision laser-cut plastic guide designed to simplify and standardise the installation of multiple Tortoise Slow Motion Switch Machine units in under-layout mounting configurations. It ensures accurate hole placement for consistent alignment, helping modellers achieve reliable turnout operation across complex track plans.

This template is especially useful when installing several Tortoise™ machines, reducing measuring errors and speeding up layout construction.

The template provides a consistent reference layout for mounting holes, allowing multiple Tortoise Slow Motion Switch Machine units to be installed with uniform spacing and positioning. This improves mechanical consistency across groups of turnouts, particularly in yards, junctions, and complex route systems.

By standardising hole placement, the template reduces installation time and minimises the risk of misalignment that could affect turnout throw reliability. Its thin plastic construction allows easy positioning and re-use during layout development.
