I see you moved that ground throw to the outside. I think I remember suggesting that little change a while back?
I'm surprised someone noticed that detail! Before I was using one of those caboose industries throws with the electrical contacts in order to power the frog. Needless to say, I was dissatisfied with its performance, so I changed it so now the frog is powered using a SPDT switch mounted under the layout and controlled by a rod from the throwbar. Because there is a section of benchwork below that switch that prevented me from mounting the SPDT, I had to make a new throwbar and re-locate the ground throw to the other side.
