The thing I absolutly love about electro-frog turnouts is that you CANNOT (if they're wired right) derail if the turnout is against you. The power routing feature gives you a dead track if the points are against the wrong stock rail and your train stops moving. The PECO have a spring that holds the points against the rail, Atlas doesn't, the Wathers/Shinohara turnouts (code 83) I've used (club layout, 150 turnouts and wyes) all had to be grooved to keep the wheels from bottoming out in the frogs and derailing. <br />I've yet to experiance ANY problems with the PECO electro frogs.
