I am far enough along with my layout now and have started looking at slow motion turnout switches. Here on the forum the 2 most popular name brands seem to be Switchmaster and Tortoise. I have built a double cross over and one of the four turnouts is close to a siding turnout (3" centers). <br /> <br />Looking at the "pictures" the Tortoise looks like it is smaller and does not use the motor arm and crank wire which looks like it would take up more space. I can't get to my LHS to physically compare them due to medical issues. Which slow motion switch has the smallest footprint (uses the least space)? <br /> <br />
