[img]http://app3.websitetonight.com/projects/2/1/8/1/218151/uploads/pm_diagram_1_.gif[/img]   i  had posted a bit in the post about powered vs. unpowered frogs, and have some questions so i started a new thread as not to hijack the post. i have n code 55 peco electrofrogs (i'm assuming, they were used) and am having problems with making it work right on the section i'm building. this is my first module on my first layout, so the wiring is all foreign to me.  if you look at the diagram, you'll see how i've got this situated and what works and what dosen't. the green section works now all the way through, with the TO thrown in either route. the black area won't work at all. i can get it to run on the upper track in the black area, but derails as soon as it hits the next turnout (i need to tweak the alignment) so i don't know it will work through to the mainline (long green line in the diagram) i've show the gaps with the orange squares. they are on the "north" rail the way it is now. this is all dc for now but will go dc when i actually have something to run (and with $$ wo spend), so i'm trying to plan ahead for the conversion.   any help is greatly appreciated and will keep me from prototypically running my kids' wooden sets! (whick is kinda fun!)   mac
