[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by SunGlow on power routing turnouts - it is highly recommended to NOT do so with DCC. [/quote] You can use power-routing turnouts on DCC with no problems, so long as you follow a couple of simple principles. First is to make sure you power the turnout from the point end; second is to have gaps at the frog end, either right by the frog or at the end of the turnout itself. I have a mix of power-routing and all-live turnouts on my layout, and don't have any problems with the p-r ones so long as I've followed these principles.
