Atlas Code 55 with Tortoise Switch Machines
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, December 26, 2003 10:38 PM
I am using the Atlas Code 55 track and turnouts and I don't know how to wire the frogs with the Tortoise Switch Machines. Any suggestions?

There may not be a need to wire the frog unless your locos are very short wheelbase. I use the Tortoise machines on my code 83 track and do not power the frogs, my locos can span the frog without a problem-even the switchers. Reconsider powering the frogs, it may not be necessary.
