One doesn’t have to remove the plastic and add a blob of solder. Frog and wing rails are already electrically continuous. (Trust me-I have a slew of them. If in doubt, check it yourself with a meter,)

Soldering to the wing rail on WS switch frogs works fine. All of mine are like this. Once painted and ballasted the feeder is not noticable at all.
