Tam Valley Depot Digital Command Control (DCC) Hex Frog Juicer
I suggested that a friend in Tucson, Arizona use the Hex Frog Juicer on his club layout and he reported that it works just as they hoped it would.
This seems to me to be the ideal thing for Power friendly turnout assemblies with isolated (otherwise dead) frogs. I will suggest that The Estes Valley Modelrailroaders use the Hex Frog Juicer on our new display layout.
I have used the hex froggers on complex trackwork including Roco three-way switches that would have been otherwise very hard to wire. In addition, the switches can be cut without a problem, again difficult with conventionally relay-powered frogs.
I have a yard that is giving me so much grief that I am just pushing the locos through. This sounds like the answer to my prayers. I am ordering some. If tit works as well as advertized it’s a 5
Andy: I am only using hand thrown turnouts on Peco Electrofrog turnouts with no motors at all. Can I use this to power route the turnout? Is that essentially what it does? No one has used the phrase power route, so it’s not clear to me.
If this is the case, my search is over.
Hex frog juicer is the answer to solving polarity problems on your layout no more arcing from your metal wheels on crossovers.
ITs the greatest thing since the internet.
