May I suggest one resistive axle per truck, and that one on the 'outside' or closest to its end of the car instead of every axle?? That wire you mention is to power the frog and can be powered by the TAM Valley Frog Juicer.? I've never had to remove the spring but then I use a different switch motor than you are planning on.

Thanks,? Yes I know what resistive wheelsets are.? I'm planning to use them on my rolling stock (one for each car axle). I believe the resistive wheelsets draw current and that allows the Digitrax BXP88 to see that and mark that block as occupied.
I have removed the "springs" that are in my Peco ElectrFrog turnouts. I'm planning to use Tortoise switch machines for controlling my Peco ElectrFrog turnouts.
There is a single wire that drops down from the bottom of these Peco ElectroFrog turnouts. Is the purpose of that wire to "power the frog"?
Can I use a Tam Valley depot frog juicer to power my frog?
