Has anyone tried to improve the look of HO scale Atlas Code 83 custom-line and super-track turnouts by removing the plastic over the frog and electrically isolating it with separate power for DCC?

I have both custom-line and super-track #6s on my layout and I'm no longer a fan of the plastic looking frog. As far as I can tell there is metal rail under the plastic as there is a slight change in elevation over the frog due to the plastic coating.

Hey everyone, I have a Atlas N scale turntable that is well sort of bland.  How can I make it look like some of the high dollar ones out there?  I did a search and saw some pictures of cool turntables but don't know where to start or even get the materials.

I have a Walthers Santa Fe super Chief Observation car that I would like to illuminate the rear Drum . Power will come from the cars trucks.  Could someone please advise me on how to add a capacitor to the Led so that it will not flicker? The LED being used has a resistor prewired for 12-16V use.The capacitor I have to use was removed from a TCS wow sound decoder ( I added a keep alive to it)

I have never done this mod to any of my lights but hope this will work

thanks for any help

Hello all. Looking for suggestions. I have a DT400 and a UT4 throttle. My DT400 has apparently died as the display only shows square boxes now. Yes I could probabaly send the DT400 to Digitrax and they will fix it for a nominal fee even though its at least 10 years old, and probably older.  I can still use the UT4 as I only have 1 locomotive and thats all I plan on having. But the UT4 does not allow you to turn track power on and off. 

So I don't need another Super Throttle but I do need a way to turn track power on and off. Any suggestions from anyone??
