No, not with an insulfrog.

For reliable operation you should:

Use a continuous bus for red, yellow, blue lines.

Install track feeders one foot from each end of the module plus every two feet apart (maximum) on module.

Add feeders to every piece of rail that is not soldered to a piece of rail that has a feeder attached. (That means the little 1 1/2 in piece at the end of a module too.)
