Wiring for DC and DCC?

<p>There is no special wiring needed for Insulfrogs. No need to cut gaps except in reverse loops. You will need to drop a feeder approximately one feeder per switch. The Insulfrogs I have seen are power routing, if you have non-power routing Insulfrogs then things are different, you wont need as many power drops. I ran a power pair bus the whole length of my benchwork and connected feeders with the clamp on type connectors (Posilocks and/or suitcase). No need for soldering the feeders to the bus that way. Also, I think the rail joiners with wires already attached are the cats, just paint one wire red or solder on a red wire so you have a red and black pair. Otherwise you will go nuts. </p><p> Good luck!</p>
