Ron, <br /> I have cut gaps both before and after the frog to completely isolate it. I used a good amount of spikes to hold the rails in place, and it provides a very clean movement time and time again. I use code 55 rail from Micro ENgineering. Code 100 rail is very tough to bend, and will even break solder joints to throwbars after a while. Code 55 bends easy and conforms to just about anything you would want to use it for. CHeck out the book "Trackwork and Lineside Detail" (Kalmbach). That is where I get all of my info from. Unfortunately though, it was written before the age of DCC, and that is what I use. <br /> <br />Good luck, <br />Matt
