I've built my first perminate layout and am using peco insul frog turn outs. I used atlas on my "Learner layouts" and had the problem of cracking locos' going to a dead stop and starting the speed table over. So I decided to go with the peco and applied power yesterday. My locos' (Mikado & Decopod) are still cracking when they go over these new turnouts. Am I getting a bounce going over the turnouts and losing power. And will I need to add power pick maybe to the tenders???? Getting flustered!! [:(!]
