Custom Trax and DCC
Posted by wedudler on Wednesday, July 30, 2008 12:40 PM

A friend of mine is interested in Custom Trax turnouts.

Has anyone some experience with those turnouts and DCC? Are they DCC friendly?

Yes, it's says. But I've heard rumors. Well rumors. I want experience.

I run into problems with my CV turnouts. They look great. But it gave shorts! The two rails are too narrow.

I had shorting problems on the other side of my frog. I cut some gaps there, but it would work on either side. If I use these for my switching yard, I'll get some other cast frogs from Proto87.
I wish they'd come out with the detailed code 83 frogs already!Banged Head [banghead]
