Model Railroading > Frog juicer input questionDate: 02/17/21 10:42 Frog juicer input question Author: Bscale316 Any reason why the DCC input from the 2 buss wires couldn't be daisy-chained to power several FJ's?
I solder all connections to the buss and would like to minimze how many I make. It appears it would not be a problem. (Small layout, one loco at a time, no circuit breakers, no boosters) Bill in Ft Worth Date: 02/17/21 11:12 Re: Frog juicer input question Author: NCA1022 That should work just fine. You're only going to draw power when a loco's wheels are actually on the frog.
Remember to only daisy chain the FJ's within the same power district (if you layout has more than one district) to keep the power districts electrically separate.While the front truck of a loco will be on the frog, the rear truck will be on "normal" track, creating an electrical path between the two. Only drawback is it might be a bit less convenient if you have to replace a Frog Juicer someday. - Norm Date: 02/23/21 04:16 Re: Frog juicer input question Author: Bscale316 Thanks for responding.
