Hi Guys, I am new to this whole electro/ insulfrog points debate and I'm sure it will have been discussed to death. My backstory is that to avoid COVID lockdown madness I have come back to a simple 3 loop layout I set up for my kids 20+ years ago. A few modifications and I have 3 working loops with 5 available controllers for sidings, station etc but........ to change loops I have for example rh peco insulfrog points feeding directly into rh peco insulfrog points. It seemed neat and logical and I have isolating joiners between them on each rail as I thought I needed them. However, my locos stall. Can I assume that simply seperating the two points with a short length of track will sort this out or am I being incredibly naive and simplistic?
