    Hey. I have a Walthers All-live 3-way-switch outside engine house. locos entering from the points end, taking the left route, are fine. Same with right side route. When taking middle route there are stall outs due to crossing 2 cold frogs at near same time. Here's the rub : The 2 frogs are on left and right rails are only about 5 scale ft. apart. Will a Hexfrog Juicer or even toggle switches still handle this polarity sequence ? My guess is yes as HFJ merely corrects or leaves alone these frogs same as normal switches. No ?
    While on subject, are there newer, less expensive devices available now ? Or is the HFJ still the only game in town ? Also, where do I find (is it ?) 'Tam Valley' for Juicer ? It's not on ebay or other searches I do. Don't they advertise ? Mark
