Hi,
Does anyone have any advice on wiring up a Peco 3-way point (electofrog) for use with DCC. To be honest, I'm struggling to wire it for DC properly and have just purchased a Lenz DCC compact. I would like to know whether it will make things harder or easier.
Thanks
Doesn't make any difference, DC or DCC you need for each rout the two rails in use to be of opposite polarity. Keith Make friends in the hobby. Visit Garratt photos for the big steam lovers.

Thanks, I'll have a look at the site. Wiring is defiantly not my strong point, which I why I want to go down the DCC road. I was just testing the 3 way to see how it is wired up and I cannot get it to work right following the peco instructions (using SPDT switches and not the accessory switch) I either get the centre line working and not the two turnouts, or the two turnouts working and not the centre.
There's a drawing here shows how to wire up a hand made one, it may help. The main thing to realise is that the centre frog should be connected to one of the side frogs,
