1. Awesome Small Switch Motor

   Posted by Jeffrey W Mullen on 31st Oct 2023

   Just finished my First Project with the MP5. It was very easy to work with. Using an Arduino Pro Micro to control both the MP5s.

2. Why Haven't I Been Using These???

   Posted by Michael Allen on 19th Oct 2023

   I have bunches of Tortoise switch machines in use and some multipacks on the shelf just waiting. But I have a couple of installations where I'm short on space. I happened on an ad from MRCS for these and discovered their amazing product offerings and outstanding customer support and fast delivery. The MP5 is not only small, it's strong, has great DPDT auxiliaries, and even a detachable socket and plug with screw down contracts (no soldering needed) all included! And they're significantly less expensive than Tortoise machines, that have gotten really pricey. FANTASTIC

3. Great solution in. Small package

   I needed a small switch motor I could use on the top of the layout and in a helix. These little devices fit the bill with no issues. I will continue to buy them as I continue expanding my layout.

4. Appears good - not yet installed

   Delivered in good condition. Looking forward to using in a tight elevated location. Will be several months before installation.

5. Glad i learned about this product

   easy to install under normal circumstances. Allows adjustments for the throw easily. Small size a plus when using on a double decker and/or helices. Price is also nice.
   I have installed 120 of these so far and am very pleased with the results..

6. Great little switch machine

   Small and compact ez to wire

7. Easy peasy is the name.

   easy to install. Low profile allows it to fit well in helices and multiple level layouts. Wiring can be accomplished away from the motor base and then easily installed by simply plugging it in. Frog polarity availability removes the need for frog juicers ( $$$ saved ). So far i have installed 90 of these little critters and not a single problem. Another 90 to come.,

8. Garden railroad use

   Posted by Russell McIntire on 26th Nov 2022

   I bought a single unit to determine if I could weather proof it and set it up to operate 45mm turnouts (G Scale). I was able to modify the connector and seal the circuit board as well as improve the seal on the slide. The many throw distance options allowed me to set it up for the turnouts I have. The unit is very quiet and easily handles the larger turnout. With this success I have purchased additional units. If your use is indoors nothing needs to be done, they are perfect.

9. Low-profile switch machine for ultra-light modules

   Posted by Tom Knapp MMR#101 on 11th Aug 2021

   This switch machine operates smoothly and reliably and has built-in contacts for frog polarity. It is very low profile - perfect for my ultra-light modules and layout sections, which are typically framed with 1x2s. (See "Ultra-Light Modules" in Jan/Feb 2004 N Scale Railroading and the current Pacific Coast Railway series in N Scale Magazine.)

10. Fits Most Anywhere

    Posted by Unknown on 13th Apr 2021

    A great alternative to the GIANT of switch machines with it's simplicity. Easier to install and if need be repair.
