Hi, <br /> <br />My 'empire' continues to evolve.... <br /> <br />Rev1 - Atlas t/o's and snap switches. <br /> <br />Based on *that* experience I tried Peco 83 with their microswitches in order to power the Electrofrog that experience now told me would be required for smooth operation..... <br /> <br />Then I decided to go with a couple of curved t/o's - This time from Walthers, and I'm not powering the frog...... <br /> <br />I am still planning on using a Peco or two, but haven't yet looked at what I need to do to modify my Electrofrogs to insulfrogs (I'm not at the layout right now, so can't check.) <br /> <br />In other words, I really like the Pecos, but would go insulfrog if I was to do it again. <br /> <br />Finally, I am driving the t/o's with tortoise motors - The only way to go IMCO - You should remove the spring, but if you want any 'aux outputs' and therefore need the Peco microswitch the cost is not too different if you go tortoise route...... <br /> <br />My 2c, <br />YMMV, <br /> <br />Cheers, <br />Ian <br /> <br />
