I am new myself but my simple understanding is that insulfrog will work straight out of the box but you will suffer a dead spot especially with slow moving shunting locos with limited pickup whereas electofrog requires a little reworking but offers much better continuity of traction current. A full explantion with diagrams is available on the turnouts section of the WiringForDCC page. John -----Original Message-----
