ClaretChris10 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I'm using Marcway trackwork on my new layout. I could use advice on wiring for DCC. For example do I need to make the frog live ! Help most appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I use Marcway 00 gauge pointwork, with SMP track. Yes the frogs on the points are live and I wire them to a micro switch on the point motor to change polarity. Works really well, and never had any running problems. I also do not rely on the point blades to feed current to the various routes, I wire separate feeds to achieve this. The use of insulated rail joiners avoids any short circuits. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
