Reply to "Looking for Pic of a Ross Switch modified for non-derailing"

Switches in place the isolated sensor rail section(s) were cut-in, and wired after the switches were installed.

Note the styrene insert in the cuts as part of the isolation.  Wire attached/soldered.

Where the short rails meet at the frog, I had to add styrene to separate the two rail sections.

Styrene strips. Cut and fit, CA applied to hold in-place.

I was having an issue today after installing two ross #101.  I could not get the non derailing to work, tried everything.  The 072 and 072Y worked no problem.  I did not put anything between the two rails that meet at the frog.  After seeing your second picture, then looking at the switches, the two rails do touch at the frog, I am sure this is causing my issue.  I will try to isolate those two rails, or cut the rails just to the outside of where they touch.
