QUOTE: Originally posted by electrolove rrinker: It must be possible to replace the tortoise from below as well if you make a little extra space around the screws so you can reach them or what do you think? The reason I ask is because once you have the turnout ballasted you don't want to move the turnout. It seems to me that it will be possible, but I'm not sure because I have no tortoise yet to test it on.
QUOTE: Originally posted by tsasala I mounted all my switch machines from underneth. I remove 4 screws and it's out. Mounting from the top seems like too much work to me. You remove it, you have to rip up the track and track bed. However, I agree with Randy, you're more likely to replace the switch than the machine.
