Hi Folks
I was down in Toronto over the week end and one of the hobby shop guys had said something to me I thought kinda strange .He had commented that it is better to use the peco electra frogs compared to the peco insulfrogs because over time the points would get dirty and what would happen is the sound in the dcc decoder equiped locomotive would cut out as it went over the insul frogs because of the bad point contact,Where as the electra frog peco would never give this problem.
1 So have any of use that have had insul frog pecos ever came across this problem.
2 If this is a problem that happens down the road is there a way to over come this perhaps by running power wires to the frog?
3 What is the purpose for making an insul frog compared to a electra frog why not just make one or the other?
TY
