I echo Don Vollrath's comment.
Let me further amplify Don's comment about adding insulated joiners at the frog end of every turnout. As I build my new railroad, that is exactly what I am doing. Electrically, you may not have to, but if you make a wiring mistake, problems are easily found. You need joiners, whether they be insulated or metal, so why not avoid trouble?
