Peco electrofrogs shorting ????
#1
Before I started to hand lay my turnouts I installed about a dozen or so HO Peco electrofrog switches. Now that I am running trains I have discovered a problem with them. In the normal "straight through" position they are fine. Once I change them to the diverging rout they short out. As in the pic below I tried to solve this problem by installing jumpers and isolating the frog with a cut off wheel, But, no luck. I have insulators placed on both rails of both paths. I had purchased them without any of the packaging or paperwork with them and was wondering if there is some kind of internal jumper wired in the ties that could be causing the short. I really don't want to remove them if I don't have to . I was hoping that someone had a fix for this that didn't require me to remove them.

   

Thanks for any help with this...
