As work continues we had a work weekend last week. And turnout was not too good as some of the crew had personal and work obligations to meet. So Sean and I carried on as we finish the siding in Longmont and turn the corner to head into Denver.

Just wondering what people are using these days for off the shelf Ho scale Turnouts?

Personally I like Peco because of how smooth they are to operate and how positive the switch points are selected. I was using Atlas for years but I find the point rails were always sloppy. I think that the price for a peco is not far off from what other MFG have yet the quality is way better?

Opinions?

I have a couple of older but in good shape Peco Code 100 turnouts that I want to use on my Inglenook. How does one tell if they are electro or insulfrog turnouts? I am just getting into DCC and I think I understand that insulfrogs are best for DCC but I am not really understanding what I have to do if I use electrofrog turnouts.

As construction has progressed on the Flin Flon Subdivision work recently has focused on getting the lower staging (northern destinations) up and running prior to starting work on the Flin Flon smelter area which will be immediately above the lower staging.  Taking a break from the staging work, I decided to give the “switch to nowhere” at Flin Flon Junction a destination.
