Your help topic and illustration for HOW TO WIRE A STANDARD TURNOUT WITH A TORTOISE SWITCH MACHINE as well as your illustration for wiring a turnout with a ground throw are the best I have ever seen. Would you ever consider creating a wiring and mechanical linkage diagram in the same style for your double crossover?

I have spent time looking at the Peco double crossover installation instructions and am cross-eyed trying to make sense of it. I've spent the last 1.5 years searching and digging on the internet and haven't come across much literature on the subject. By putting bits and pieces of suggestions together I've been able to figure out what needs to be done. But your illustrations make very clear the wiring concept and what must happen for a successful installation.

Even finding a supplier on the internet that sells optional non-standard parts for the tortoise machine is rare. As with the ground throws, would you consider selling the other items that make the crossover work. The items that come to mind are the remote linkage kits and double turnout linkage kits. There may be other Tortoise and ground throw options I'm not aware of where you might be of assistance to those of us who are not members of clubs.
