Live frog conversion for Peco Setrack

Perhaps it is just the angle of the photo, but it looks like the point of the V in the frog is too close to the curved stock rail and that wheel flanges on the leading axle will hit it if they are of the thin but deep wheel profile.
The miss-alignment between the frog and the original curved rail may also give problems.

But I am sure you have tried this with a wide range of wheel profiles.

As it happens the point of the frog being too vclose to the curved rail was one of the issues with the pre-2010 Peco 12 inch 009 points that was correcred when they updated them in 2010.

Brian, the toughest part of this conversion was the frog, and in particular it's location to both straight and curved sections. I used the NMRA N scale gauge for the frog and guard rail spacing. Wheel sets run through the frog are MicroTrains.
Greenwich.
Dundas.
Roco.
Mini Trains. Loco and freight cars.
Kato 11-104 Chassis.
Any older stock in my collection have been converted to NMRA standards or the wheels have been replaced.
So a conversion can be done.
