Why is it that some poeple say it's better to take electricity from the track and route it thru the switch (turnout)? <br /> <br />I didn't solder power (electricity) connections to my turnouts and none of my trains have problems with it. Of course I solder power feeder to the tracks ahead and behind the turnouts, but not to THE turnout. <br /> <br />So why add power to turnouts? Seems to me it's quite the job...
