Atlas 55 track geometry question

[mmagliaro]

That was my point.  The turnouts come with metal frogs, but the frogs are dead and it's up to you to power it (usually with a switching mechanism somehow linked to the turnout).
The crossings could be the same.  Make the frog metal, and make it isolated from the rails so there is no short,
and leave it up to me to power it.   

But making it plastic dooms me to a dead frog no matter what I do.

Which is what the Peco Electrofrog Xings have, metal frogs with separate wires that hook up to a power selector that changes the polarity of the frogs to match the track being run through on. You think this "frog juicer" thing would work for that?

Oh great, now he is going to want a raise.

Get him a taller office chair.
