I'm using digitrax for power ,I just need a schematic for using the tortise internal contacts to power the insulfrog on my atlas switch machines. Thanks Jim. 

There should have been instructions packaged with the Tortoise.  But here is more information from the TonysTrains website:

You didn't specify DC or DCC but try this link:http://www.wiringfordcc.com/switches.htm.  The tortoise has built in spdt switches that you can use for this purpose.  The same principles should apply to DC.
