Spraymanandy Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hi Can any one tell me how to wire a peco electro frog diamond crossing that as two separate power inputs (up and down lines) for dc. I am using peco point motors but would buy something that was more suitable. Would a dual frog juicer work? Thanks Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold sjp23480 Posted May 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Andy, A diamond doesn't need any point motors, no moving parts. You will probably need a DPDT switch to control the polarity. Check out Brian Lambert's site: https://www.brian-lambert.co.uk/Electrical_Page_3.html Edited May 9, 2020 by sjp23480 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spraymanandy Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hi I'm aware that diamond doesn't need a point motor i was thinking that the electro frog point before the diamond could be wired to change polarity or can i just use isolating fishplates on the diamond frog Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, I think PJ has it covered, failing that I can recommend Brian's site to you. He also hangs out here and will chime in as required.
