[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Jacktal</i> <br /><br />From your picture,I'd say this turnout is an "insulfrog" type turnout,which never had and doesn't need jumpers.If it had jumpers removed previously,we'd still see the cavity designed for this purpose.These are very good turnouts just the same however.The only difference is you would have short lengths of dead track that will likely show on very short loco's in the worst cases. <br /> <br />I have both code 55 and 80 Electrofrog turnouts on hand and they are both equipped with jumpers.With the exception of rail height,they are identical.I have installed many C80 turnouts at the club so far and have never cared to modify a single one.I simply install insulated joiners at both legs of the frog and they all perform flawlessly with our DCC (Digitrax) system. <br /> <br />You should have installation instructions with your TO...just follow them,no less no more,and you shouldn't have any problem. <br />[/quote] <br />Well, the box says it's an electrofrog TO, and to the best of my knowledge, Peco <br />doesn't make c55 insulfrog TO's. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
