I have one HFJ and another one on order. I use it with ME and Peco Electrofrog turnouts, with no problem at all.

I installed 2 (single unit) frog juicer on 2 DCC unfriendly Walther/Shinohara turnouts. They work very well and should be OK with the turnouts you specified.

Well, it probably won't work very well on a turnout that has plastic frogs.

...a frog juicer?  Didn't I see one of those on Saturday Night Live in the late '60s?

The frog needs to be 'isolated', as in DCC friendly....

Tam Valley Frog Juicer
Posted by cptsail on Monday, May 2, 2011 1:25 PM

I am purchasing a hex frog juicer.  I'm wondering if there are any turnouts that this product does NOT work with?  I'm especially interested in know ing if there are issues with ME turnouts and Railway Engineering standard DC turnouts?  Does anyone know first hand?
