I have a simple layout (see track plan at link below) and am having an issue with one frog in on #6 rh crossover. When I set the frogs to be unpowered and set the route for straight through, the bad frog will short the locomotive out. Once through the frog completely, all works good. When set to powered frogs, and set the route straight through, the entire system shorts. Return to diverging route and all works correctly.

This is being run with your EZ Command DCC with the power for the switches coming from a separate controller that does not feed track power.

I bought these crossovers brand new but cannot find the online receipt. Hoping you can help.

Thanks for accepting my membership.

I have a Christmas board, two ovals with a right- & left-hand #6 single crossover between the ovals.

One of the crossovers frogs behaves 50% correctly. When thrown in the diverging route, trains run through without issue. But when set for the straight through route, my locomotives short out on the frog. It appears that When thrown, the polarity is not being changed.

Can any one help me with determining which wire on the turnout might be mis-connected, or any other thoughts...

Thank you for your time...

Todd
