I think the author ment to say " I prefer all metal frog turnouts". He didn't poll me. With decent modern all wheel pickup locos it's just one more thing to fix and repair and goes against KISS. I use plastic frog with dcc and dc with Atlas, Athearns, and Walthers locos. They never ever stall in TO due to frogs. With old toy single truck pickup locos they always stall in Plastic TO unless they are going 100 MPH. If I run them anymore they are multied to a good loco and it's no problem, the good one drags them through. The points are the biggest stall problem and can be cleaned or jumpered. Now, just one more point, I have some older toy type stream locos and they derail in TO more than they stall or make it. So that's how I feel. FRED .
