Are electrofrog points really necessary for slow running?

[Dr Al]

One reason for going electrofrog that others haven't mentioned is that insulfrogs wear out much quicker. The plastic frog simply doesn't have the durability of an all metal unit - it wears down which in itself starts to cause poor running.

By contrast the electrofrogs I have are all still going strong, with no obvious wear, despite some having now done 15 years of running.

Frankly, it's a no-brainer.

Electrofrog is the only choice.

The way I see it, is the rails are metal, and you wouldnt use plastic rails, would you???

At the end of the day, its the builders choice, but if it solves a potential problem and increses your enjoyment then might as well do it.

Or plastic sleepers
