    Can anyone draw out the wiring for the Micro Engineering Code 70/83 Turnout? It is their standard turnout with the dead metal frog. I need to liven the frog up, but can seem to get the wiring right. Any help would really be appreciated. A simple drawing of the underside should do it. Thanks, Jim

    The power routing switch would be SPDT terminals on a Tortoise or similar switch machine, or you could use a Frog Juicer from Tam Valley Products.

    jwb3, Thanks. I've given up on the ME turnout. I can't do it, old age I guess. I'm going to reuse my old Peco turnout that needs no wiring. Jim
