Circuitron

Circuitron is a trusted name in model railway electronics, best known for practical, reliable products that help bring layouts to life. From point motor control, detection and animation circuits, Circuitron products are designed to be straightforward to install and dependable in use. 

At the heart of the range are the famous TORTOISE and SMAIL slow-motion point motors. The Tortoise has long been a favourite with modellers looking for smooth, realistic turnout operation, offering a steady, prototypical movement rather than the sudden snap action of traditional solenoid motors. Its robust design makes it ideal for hidden sidings, scenic areas and exhibition layouts where reliability matters.

 
The SMAIL builds on the Tortoise concept with an integrated DCC decoder, making it a convenient choice for digital layouts. It offers the same slow-motion action, while simplifying installation for modellers who want direct DCC control of their points, making them ideal for use with our Gaugemaster Infinity systems and other DCC controllers. 

The range also contains a selection of detection modules to make layout operation a breeze. Combined with the OPTO Sensors, these modules allow mimic panels to be combined with LED indicators to allow operators to know exactly where your trains are. Fibre optic lighting is also found in their range alongside other control effects makes the range ideal for bringing an extra layer of control to your layout.
Circuitron products are designed with ease of use in mind, and combined with in depth instructions to help modellers add more realistic electrical operation without needing specialist electronics knowledge.

 
Whether you are upgrading point control, improving layout reliability, or adding extra electrical realism, Circuitron offers proven solutions for serious railway modellers.
