Naah! The hobby needs some livening up.

G scale points are electrofrog.

Au contre. LGB points are insulated frog, that's why stuff stalls on them. However, you are correct in your post about them being non isolating.
The way they are 'jump' wired, gives them the same characteristics as an electrofrog, in that insulators are necessary in certain layout situations.

I once tried it. My Trix Twin 3-rail locomotive just wasn't the same after it!

Yes Gavin your answer is correct and more precise than mine. I was using the terms insulfrog and electrofrog carelessly.
