What makes a turnout more (or less) "DCC friendly?"

<p> Dave,</p><p>I am with you - I never really understood where the problem lies. I have been using turnouts with insulated frogs on various DCC layouts without any additional wiring than a set of feeders for each track, spur or siding and I never had any problems with engines stalling or short circuits. All I did is to check my wiring with a volt meter and to ensure my track is in gauge and clean. </p><p>DCC friendly does not me DC <b><i>un</i></b>friendly and a Peco Electrofrog can be also used with DCC, proper wiring assumed.</p><p>IMHO, it finally boils down to the questions of how many pick-ups your locos have and whether they can "bridge" the dead frog properly. <br></p>
