Bachmann's turnout controller and the #56 have the same functions:

1. Remotely control the points of a turnout with a momentary connection to its 3-wire twin-coil solenoid.

2. Leave an indication on the controller of the last position the points were set to.

The main rule for wiring the solenoids is "center wire remains center wire."

Look in the yellow pages under "computers-networking" for companies that install cat5 cable. 

They generally throw away or recycle lengths under 30 feet. 

They probably have a dumpster full. 

Hope this helps.

If your loco is too heavy to lift, you'd better be able to ride in, on or behind it.
