I'm really digging the realistic looks of the new Streamline series of track by Peco-UK. Since I'm going to build my new layout as DCC only, should I be looking at the normal frog or the insulfrog turnouts? And why?
I used code 83 on my layout. I also used hot frog switches. This does mean you have to cut the switches and wire selective current off a switch machine or some form of selective power source. I prefer hot frogs since I run a lot of steam ( and DCC) this keeps the track hot with no gaps in the contact. Plus I like the way hot frogs look over the insulated ones. This is my personel prefrence. I have seen a lot of nice work with insul frogs. It does require more work but I feel it is well worth it. Mike
IMHO, Electrofrog is the only way to go. Sure, it's more work but continous contact is crucial, the more the smaller the scale. hth Michael
