Hi Dave; If your layout is already fully wired, equipped with Frog Juicers and correctly gaped it probably isn't worth while. OTOH, if you haven't bought and installed the complex part of the wiring yet, going with deliberately dead turnouts and battery power might be a cost and work saving exercise.
Imagine never tracing a short in layout wiring again... Pieter E.
