    Old Atlas Turnouts

    I have the Caboose Ind spring ground throws but I don't like how they look. I would prefer to use better looking dummies and simple trow the turnouts by hand.

    Old Atlas Turnouts

    I'm mixing some older Atlas turnouts with new Peco. The Peco turnout point rails are spring loaded and "Snap" when thrown. Atlas does not. Does anyone a way to spring load the Atlas points?

    Converting Peco Electro Frog Turnouts??

    Well the way I underdstand it, and I'm no expert, is, one way ur stub track is powered and when you move the turnout the other way its not. That's with the Peco Electro Frog. Insul frog you're powered both ways.

    Converting Peco Electro Frog Turnouts??

    Yes, that's exaclty what happens. Insul Frog wouldn't do this. I guess I'll have to pull these all up and install them with insulated rail joiners and add extra feed wIres! Just like the directions say!

    Converting Peco Electro Frog Turnouts??

    Thanks for the shout back. Can't return them as they're already opened and installed. They're in a yard so it would involve a lot of extra feed wires which I'd like to avoid if possible. Guess I'll just have to live and learn with my mistake!

    Converting Peco Electro Frog Turnouts??

    Recently I added 3 Peco Electro Frog Turnouts (SLE8351 and 52) to my new HO layout. I should have gotten Inslu Frog as I'm not using DCC. Is there any way to convert these so I don't have to use insluated track jointers and extra feed wires? Thanks for you help!
