Due to space consideration it was necessary to match my originals. These were a precise match. The price was right and they were delivered in a few days. I would recommend this seller to friends and purchase from them again. Review: Awesome unit - I have installed 10 of these on my layout. I use both the SPDT toggles, one for track power and 1 for LED. The only drawback i have found in all 10 units is that there is a small bleed over of dc power to the non connected SPDT side of the toggle. Im consider myself a good solderer so i know its not that. Other than that it function beautifully. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001BHGHQM | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Brand Name | Model Power | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (12) | | Educational Objective | Science | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Manufacturer | Model Power | | Manufacturer Part Number | 6000 | | Material Type | Iron | | UPC | 037135060005 793631790647 | ## Images ![6000 Tortoise Switch Machine HO - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ErgPf-b6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly as advertised *by G***Y on February 25, 2013* A long time model railroading buff, I've used Tortoise Switch Machines in my layout for years.
