Hi ,I'm coming back into the N gauge world after a 35 year layoff ,I'm going to build a layout in a travel trunk. I want a double line but will actually be one continuous (like a figure of 8 but inside itself )line and got a short crossover to achieve this .I bought an electrofrog but I'm DC NOT DCC. would it be better to buy a insurfrog and solider the wires myself or would this not solve my problem. I know they have a dead spot which might also course me problems . any and all help and advice welcome
