If you have been following the build of the Bronx Terminal on
Tim's blog, you may remember that he had used the Hex Frog Juicer designed by Duncan Mcree of Tam Valley Depot. While Tim was not able to use the Frog Juicer on all of the frogs on his layout (due to the very unusual nature of the track plan), he did use it in a wye reversing section, which significantly decreased the complexity of the reversing section. Overall we were so impressed with the Frog Juicer that we approached Duncan to find out if he would be interested in letting us offer the Frog Juicer on our website.
The good new is he did agree and today we are very pleased to announce that Fast Tracks has been appointed the exclusive internet retailer for the Hex Frog Juicer. You will find the complete announcement here:
http://www.handlaidtrack.com/news-release-jul-2009-1.phpIf you have ever struggled with wiring frogs on crossings or double crossovers, then you will want to check out this nifty little device! It will tame that wiring nightmare with just a single wire connected to each frog on the switch. The Frog Juicer will then automatically switch the polarity of the frog with no interruption to the engine or sound system.
While the Frog Juicer is most useful for crossings and double crossovers, it can be used on all switch types, including turnouts, wyes, 3-ways, slips, etc. Any switch that uses a frog.
