Question:
Do you want your switch tracks, using V-DC motors, operate more efficiently ?

Fact: (#1)
Yes there is all kinds of information on the internet,
when it comes to using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to power a V-DC motor.

Fact: (#2)
I actually have (x1) of these units, to power my (x27) "Tortoise" switch machines.

Fact: (#3)
Switch track machines like the "Tortoise", "Smail" and the "Cobalt",
use V-DC electric motors.

(#1)
Using a "Pulse Width Modulation" (PWM) to a V-DC switch machine motor:
- The motor V-DC remains "Constant"
- The motor is always at "Full Strength"
- The motor can be "Rotated" much more "Slowly" without it "Stalling"

(#2)
Using a "Pulse Width Modulation" (PWM) to a V-DC switch machine motor:
- The variable pot (resistor), the speed of the motor can be "Reduced" 
- Slowing down the switching track movement, will be more realistic. (Prototype).

Procedures:
- Remove and hot wire the (x4) direction switch terminals.
- Mount (x1) Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to power all of your V-DC switch machines.
- Add a 12.V-DC power supply
