Everyone eventually runs into a situation where installing a Tortoise, iP Digital, or other switch machine just won't fit under the layout due to some interference. In this video I'll show you how to use DCCconcepts' Cobalt-SS surface mount switch machines with either DC or DCC power. And I'll show you a new model of the Westinghouse electro-pneumatic switch machines used by many railroads around the world during the first half of the 20th century and are still in use today. For more info on those still used in the Chicago area visit chi.streetsblog.org/2016/06/03/metra-studying-replacement-for-old-switch-machine-that-would-improve-reliability .
