Cutting rails to isolate the frog on an N-scale Peco electrofrog turnout - Model Railroader Magazine

I have modified in the past a few Peco N scale code 55

In fact because I found the isolated plastic joiners out of scale I modified them

Today I use exclusively home build Fastrack turnouts in code 55 

I simply used the Fastrack method with a jeweller saw to cut slot in the wing rail and in the two frog rail

This end with a isolate frog from the rest of the turnout

To avoid any stress on the turnout when cutting the rails I put the turnouts in a modeler pin vise between two plastic board

If I remember you need to cut of also the Peco wire which are under the frog

On the Fastrack site you can find excellent videos for how to do it
