Both turnouts are power routing and have non-insulated frogs. Either turn out is good. Just be sure you wire and insulate it correctly. I suggest getting this book to learn how and why, [url="http://store.yahoo.net/kalmbachcatalog/12242.html"]DCC Made Easy[/url] .(click on title) <br /> Something you need to be careful with when using power routing turnouts, to prevent shorts, is to be sure your switch points are not set against trafic that is facing the points. Also be sure your wheels are in gage. <br /> Both are very good looking, however you should know Peco rails are code 75 and 100 and they also offer a wye in code 80 (I have no idea wye). Shinohara comes in code 100 and 70. If you mix codes you will have to use or make transition jointers or track to make the top of the rail heads even.
