Perry A Pollino
This my be a dumb question. I am putting feeders on every section of track. Can I I also put feeders on stock rails of my turnouts?

Not dumb, but just requires a choice. Feeders to the stock rails or just solder the stock rails to the flex track (or whatever). ....Tom On Mon, May 24, 2021 at 10:14 AM Perry A Pollino <texasperry@...> wrote: This my be a dumb question.

Solder a wire connecting each closure rail to the adjacent left and right stock rail (This assumes an isolated frog.) Best practice is that each unbroken section of rail should have a feeder. John Bishop

I always put feeders on the stock rails of turnouts (Code 55 N-scale, either Atlas or FastTracks). I prefer not soldering rail joiners, but your mileage may vary, and there are always special circumstances.
Jumpers to stock rails depends on how the turnouts are put together. The Wiring for DCC site includes descriptions of various turnouts: https://www.wiringfordcc.com/switches.htm#a17 Tim Rumph Lancaster, SC |

Hi Perry,
Yes, you can attach feeders to your stock rails. I do. Go to my website and check out wiring your favorite turnout. https://wiringfordcc.com/switches.htm Allan Gartner Wiring for DCC |
