You need to look at the turnouts. If they are insulfrog, then there is no real reason to insulate blocks in your situation. However, there are some turnouts that will require modification, and in the past I have accomplished a workaround by insulating the frog side and powering from the thrown point to the frog. This is not a good solution, and with DCC you may need to change to insulfrog turnouts. (You will be running full power AC through the rails, the frogs are a big issue and cause shorts unless they are properly insulated.) <br /> <br />Take a look at some of the recommendations of how to modify your turnouts. (Guys, I can't find the link I used to have to the website that shows this in detail. Can someone help out here?) <br /> <br />Keep asking questions, and good luck.
