Lily Pad Switch Machine Mount

When using a Tortoise Switch machines once you have it mounted there is no adjustment for side to side. It can also be very difficult to get the screw up next to the machine to screw it to the under side of the layout.

I thought, there has to be a better way to mount a Tortoise Switch Machine and give it fine adjustment. I came up with the Lily Pad for Tortoise switch machines.

The Lily Pad is 1/4" thick Baltic Birch plywood. There are 4 holes so you can mount the Tortoise Switch Machine to the Lily Pad before you go under your layout. There are also four slightly oversize hole for mounting the Lily Pad to your layout. The oversize hole allows you to move the Lily Pad and the Tortoise Switch Machine slightly around to get it in just the right position.

The Lily Pad comes with eight screws and four washer . Four screws to mount a Tortoise Switch Machine to the Lily Pad and four screws and washers to mount the Lily Pad to the layout. 

Lily Pad Drill Guide

Use the drill guide to drill pilot holes to mount the Lily Pad. Drill a 1/4" hole through the layout where the turnout control wire goes. Place the dowel on the Lily Pad Drill guide into the hole. Drill the four pilot holes.
