DCC Autoreversers Switch Frog Power

BUY HERE

Tom M has come up with a new application for DCC Auto Reversers.

I found a new use for your OnGuard! OG-AR reverser!
I have some manual throw switches on my DCC controlled F scale layout. I needed to switch the frog polarity back and forth. I don't like the usual mechanical method with rods and slide switches. So I hooked up the input of the OG-AR to the two switch rails and ONE of the output connectors to the frog. Polarity of the input or output does not matter. Presto! The polarity changes as the loco wheels touch the frog with no hesitation or blinking of lights. This is the easiest and cleanest method I have found yet to accomplish this simple task.
