N / Placement of Insulated Rail Joints
November 06, 2013, 08:52:53 AM
I'm about to start assembling an N-scale switching layout using E-Z Track.
I was in the hobby long ago in HO, using Shinohara turnouts (solid frog) then.

My question is, using the E-Z Track as it is, including the "Remote Turnouts", do I need to place insulated joiners (gaps) at fouling points and between connections at crossovers, at all the conventional locations where I was used to doing that with solid frog in HO (and provide feeders at the point side of turnouts), or does the Bachman track function more like the Atlas snaptrack and not need gaps/additional feeders?

Thanks much!
