No, if the stub tracks have power to them, and you use this straight out of the package it will cause short circuit(s). BUT simply add insulated rail joiners to the frog rails and it will be fine.
The easiest way to use hot frog turnouts on a stub end track is to not put separate power feeders to the track. Just let the turnout power them as needed from the points.
I have laid ~ 88' of track on my 5'x16' board, all new Peco Code 83 superflex 3' sections. The track is on a foam roadbed and glued down.
I put a new engine on it and turned the power on the MRC Advance Prodigy2 to the layout.
The engine ran fine about half-way around and then stopped. The MRC cab displayed a blinking error code "SVDA". A short in the system.
I've taken the engine off and there's nothing on the track. I cleaned the entire layout with an abrasive eraser and checked all the joiners. Not all the 3' sections have the rails together tightly, small gaps which didn't affect the engine when it ran. Also made sure there were no metal objects on the rails.
Called MRC yesterday and John had me unplug the power module and then turn on the power. No error code. Put module back in, error code.
He said it's a short somewhere in the tracks. Also when I described the layout, he zeroed in on the 3 Peco turnouts, suggesting I remove them and inspect. Note: they are non-powered and I plan on setting them manually.
I was an idiot for gluing down the tracks and I don't want to cut out the turnouts unless absolutely necessary.
Does any of this make sense? The MRC power shuts off track power in the event of a short, so I don't think I can check the input voltage to the tracks.
