Micro Engineering turnouts
Thu, 2014-11-27 04:06 — Tore Hjellset
I'm just about ready to start laying track on my new H0n3-layout, and I've chosen to use Micro Engineering turnouts. My initial plan was to use Bullfrog turnout controls, but I think the control rod is a little bit flimsy, and I also need to cut a lot of holes to recess these into the fascia, resulting in a "messy" look. Would it be possible at all to use these turnouts manually like they are right out of the box? Or would that result in bad electrical connections after a while (like on Peco turnouts)?

All manual
I think I am going to go for all manual control of the turnouts, but I will solder a wire to each frog and drop a wire from them so I can hook up a frog juicer to them if necessary. Thanks for all the feedback!
