I have a set track curve like yours and have to use it due to space, all other points are electrofrog. I am having trouble but you have just explained to me very easily how to get over the problem. Thank you Mike, I understand everything. Great tutorial. Barry.Devon
Nice tutorial, Pretty much what I have done with my electrofrogs. On those bits of wire joining the rails, I attached dropper wires to them and it saved soldering on extra wire later (but probably not needed with insulfrog?)
I understand everything except the V points. You have soldered them together here, but if you use insulated joiners the V will be dead. How does the current get to the V and how does it change from positive to negative?
Turnouts are and have been a mystery to me. In F scale with three rail (two for narrow gauge, and one for expanded standard gauge) The turnouts are even more of a problem for me. I have 1:1 F scale drawings, that may help when I get ready to build one. Still, your video helps with some detail that I like! Thanks Regards, Solomon

Thanks for that Mike, I wondered why my loco kept shortening out. very informative.Cheers John.
Very nice solution to your problem, and easy to follow...Simon
Well done. Clearly explained. Quite odd that suddenly out of the blue it started to become a problem. I only use electrofrog points. Rob

I followed everything except what now determines the polarity of the V section? If you use insulating joiners the whole V section will be dead? Thanks

Don't you have to use non conductive joiners between the frog and the attached rail?
Great ex[planation that has been poorly covered elsewhere IMHO.
