converting electrofog to insulfrog
Posted by Mario1 on Tuesday, November 25, 2014 12:16 PM

Hi

I got 4 peco electrofog turnouts and Id like to use them on my DCC layout. Is there much to do so they dont create a short?

Thanks

 No different than using them for DC. You need insulated joines in the diverging rails of the frog. If you change the jumpers underneath as shown here: http://www.wiringfordcc.com/switches_peco.htm they will be better, but it is not strictly required.
