Wiring Turnouts for Reliable Operations

Featuring the Tam Valley Depot "Frog Juicer"
I get into the tech side of model railroading in this episode, explaining how to use Tam Valley Depot "Frog Juicers" to ensure reliable turnout operations. There's some good, basic information on how Peco Electrofrog power routing turnouts work, and a demonstration on how to retrofit an already painted and ballasted turnout with a Frog Juicer. If you enjoy this kind of thing, please subscribe, or help support Thunder Mesa on Patreon for early access and exclusive goodies. Thanks for tuning in!

This is one of the many reasons we went to battery and radio control. I scenery became so detailed that we would smash something every time the loci would stop. Thank you for your videos. We make our living as ranchers in Oklahoma. It is always nice to have a new video to watch. The Shufflebotham family.

Dave love your video's,and thanks for all you do for the community.i'm a truck driver by trade,and i've seen every one of your uploads over and over.You have inspired me to start my own railroad and with me being on the road for months at a time.structure building helps pass the time when im not driving. i dont have a laser cutter,so i build everything with bulsa sheets,and making my own ho scaled lumber using a mini table saw. i would love to see more structure builds from you.Again love your channel and thanks.

Brilliant, well done!

Nice job and instructions on the conversion.. One thing I do when dropping track power is to take a little more of the insulation off so no insulation shows. I feel that this make the wire less able to be seen and really doesn't effect the power or make a short.

Interesting, Educational, Beneficial Thanks 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂

[@caryhocker]

Great video, and this will be useful as I plan my layout. Can I ask which caboose ground throw you are using?

[@drew8837]

Can you solder to either of the silver wires under a Peco Electrofrog, then just put insulated rail joiners above the turnout?

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

Yes you can

[@paulreinhardt6052]

What code rail do you use? Thanks fir another awesome video!

[@politicsandtrains]

How does a DC layout work with this?
