I am considering adding Tortoise switch machines to my medium sized (8 x 20) layout build after watching the excellent Jim Barrett video on how to install these.  The Circuitron website doesn't seem to differentiate scale sizes, so which part # do I order ?

Thks,

They only make one. 800-6000. That’s the number for a single.  They do offer them in multiple packs of I think 6 or 12 so you can save a few dollars. That could be the difference as far as part numbers. The only difference in scales. You may want to go to a bit heavier wire that goes from the Tortoise to the throwbar. You need a piece of spring or music wire. You can get it from K&S metals. Or if you have a local hobby shop that deals in RC Planes. They probably carry it. I think .032 is what you want. Should be covered in the instructions.
