Hello All
I just picked up a 12 pack of tortoise switch machines to upgrade my existing Atlas turnouts. The first 2 are in progress and not a problem since I'm also upgrading the turnouts from #4's to #6's. I'm scratching my head though with the other 8 i have. Is there a secret to installing on switches that are existing? With 2" of foam over the plywood the only thing I can think of is trying to drill from underneath but am not liking the possibility of damaging them.
I'm sure someone has come across this and hopefully there's an answer other than ripping up the turnout.

Thanks

I had the same problem and had to resort to using the Tortoise remote setup. It works very nicely. See part #800-6100. That may be of help. We didnt have 2" foam to compete with.
