i'm curious, would this work on a Peco turnout that powered by a Peco switch motor?

I'm not sure.  I think they would work better on a Tortoise installation because of the slow motion.  Peco and Atlas machines are pretty fast.  Maybe, maybe not.  My plans are to use them all on Tortoise installations.

    This one?

I've assembled a couple of these, but for reasons I forget I've never gotten around to putting them on the layout.  I should do that some time.

Assembly was simple, but the diagram is kind of weak.  Just study the parts carefully to find out how they all fit together.  As I recall, I applied some Labelle grease during assembly to get things to operate smoothly.

Anyone using these to indicate turnout position? If so can you provide comments as to ease of installation, operation etc?

Thank you in advance,

Mark
