faded_Glory Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I have got myself some of the Gaugemaster autofrogs and the instructions simply sat to connect two of the terminals (the ones on two of the corners of the print) to the rails or the bus - but it dosn't say which terminal goes to which rail. So my quick question: does it matter which way round I connect these? Especially, when I use them on several points, should the connection always be the same regardless of the orientation of the points (i.e. should I always connect the 'top left' contact of the autofrog to the same polarity bus/rail), or should I always connect the 'top left' contact to the straight stock rail (as per the Gaugemaster diagram) and the 'bottom left' connector to the diverging stock rail, regardless of their polarity - or does it not matter at all? To clarify, I use Peco Code 75 electrofrogs with the little connecting wires snipped away and isolated rail joiners to totally isolate the frog, and with the switchrails hardwired to the adjacent stock rails.

Crosland Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 It doesn't matter for an individual unit. Each unit is totally independent so there is no need to be consistent between units. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shibushe Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Just be careful with your soldering. I didn't, hence failed. You will soon know, lots of brown smoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
