Bill,
I use Tomalco turnouts and 204S high level HO ground throws. They work
perfectly. I hard wire the point rails and isolate the frog. I've never had a
problem with dead frogs using DCC in any scale.

Hi Guys,
I recently bought a bunch of the Caboose Industries O Scale sprung ground
throws for my new yard module in the making. I wanted to be sure I had the
needed throw. My other thoughts were possibly having sure a firm point
engagement that I could power route from the points greatly saving
additional wiring. Since they are modules, I have visions of blasting a
ground throw during a move through a doorway. If I could just screw on a new
unit without messing with wiring and a contactor, it would be MUCH better.
I did not try to install any yet because there is NO track down, but on the
5 second initial look-see, they are not as massively oversized as I
expected. What do ya'll think about relying on the points to carry the
power? I have not been a fan of it before, but again, I am hoping to GREATLY
simplify the wiring this time.
Thank You,
Bill Lane
