I get the wiring but I don't get the isolated blocks.  Do I cut the adjacent track on all four legs?  Do I put insulated pins in and cut rail?  Do I create both? I have a Ross Ready Regular turnout going into it.  What do I do with that?  Wiring I get.  I don't get the physical creation of the isolate block.  Help......

I looked at wiring diagram all you do is insert isolating pins at Y and Z or just leave the metal pin out on those  2 rails on each end as it shows in diagram.

you can use some caulk to fill gap if you think the rails are to close and might cause a short or whatever you decide to ensure the rails cannot create an electrical path.

 

Hope this helps you.

So in other words, on the tracks going into the crossover I am creating a short stretch of non powered ground track and calling them Z and Y.  So if I feed the cross over from each leg with a 4 inch piece of GarGraves track and place an insulated pin at both ends of the chosen ground track I should accomplish that?  Am I thinking right?

If the two short pieces of track on the cross work, I'd use them. Be sure they don't touch each other at the frog.  That is the only question I have yet?????
