On my shopping list!

Yes, you could put a $20 keep alive in every locomotive or put $0.50 switches on the frogs.
atsfguy:
Alan, are you suggesting toggle switches on the frog to switch polarity or some other switch?
Alan:
I did not have a final form factor in mind. There are any number of ways to get the job done. Below is just one. My point being keep alives, while certainly an effective solution, add considerable cost and installation concerns if one has many locomotives.
ON28:
Just to report, upgraded the LM2 and the loco ran better, thanks to all who commented. Per the keep-alive comment, I will add that Tony Koester uses miniature slide switches to power some frogs (mostly non-mainline) on his NKP layout. But, like other aspects of this hobby, you can spend as much as you want on frog juices and similar circuitry.
