Hello I am currently adding a Peco Code 55 streamline Electrofrog scissors Double crossover to my lay out, which is all DCC, I have isolated the crossover at each of the fore legs, and installed power drops from all the incoming rails . my problem is I have read several articles on how to wire this , but I am not understanding the wiring for the middle points , and moving rails hookup , I will be using an Digitrax PM42 Quad Power Manager to reverse the polarity but I am still not clear on which wires go where . Wondering if anyone has seen any drawings, which would clear this up? Second question, would a Digitrax AR1 work just as well? Any help would be appreciated.
I've wired three of them in my last two layouts. I took the simple way out and used an auto-reverser to swap the polarity of the crossing rails; the outside set of wires Peco attaches to the turnout. I attached the other two wires to their corresponding rail because they did not need to change polarity. In 2 installations I also dropped 4 frog feeds that are handled in the usual way. I forgot to do one of the crossovers and will probably regret that omission eventually and have to manually solder frog feeds to an already installed crossover.
