I did a search on this subject but didn't find the answer I was looking for. I need to know can you power the frog from the common rail without using a Snap Relay? I have an Atlas wiring book and it says you have to use one. Reading that book is confusing enough! My layout is an Atlas design called The Great Eastern Trunk. I really don't need it to rout power through the points as I already have blocks set up that I can turn off and on with my selectors. I run regular DC power. The trains that cause me problems are my Bachmann Spectrum 0-6-0 Saddle Tank Switcher and my daugters Bachman Thomas The Tank Engine. Both of these will stall on the frogs and I have 13 of them! <br /> <br />Thank you for your help. <br />
