Some time back (maybe 18 - 20 years ago) I discovered while hand-laying track for my then-strictly-DC basement layout, that Isolated frog, power-routed turnouts (with jumpers between the stock rails and the moveable points/frog) effectively eliminated my life-long headache of short circuits each time I through a turn out!

What a pleasant side benefit to the extra time spent spiking rail by hand and the constant concerns about maintaining gauge ...
I'm assuming that the Peco turnouts do essentially the same thing ... correct? :? :?:
