modifying Peco turnouts.

Model Railroader Layouts and layout building

When building the Virginian, do you have to modify all of the peco turnouts or just the 6 that go to the Hex Frog Juicer?

MOSES45,

Just a thought, Try following, The Virginian Build Thread, in this same Forum… There are about,three guys that have or are building this layout… I’m quite sure,they can answer most all your questions,you may have…

Thanks for your help. I went to that thread and posted, but it ended up posted under Layouts. Don’t know what went wrong. Anyway soldering these things is mind boggling.

Moses45,

I hate to tell you this, But layouts is where you posted your original question, don’t worry about it, you are in the right pew,so to speak… I would like to help you I’m sure I can, but I don’t have a plan of the Virginian…

Cheers,

Frank

Moses,

I answered you on the Virginian thread, but a question would be that if you really don’t want to solder and haven’t purchased the turnouts yet, you could go with Peco Insulfrogs. These do not require soldering. Others on the forum may be able to chime in on the benefits of Electrofrog over Insulfrog. I know insulfrog may not be as good when the loco doesn’t have all wheel pickup, but am not sure if there are any other disadvantages.

Cheers,

Steve
