I recently purchased an On30 xmas trolley, and currently own 4 pieces of straight auto reversing track hoping to set up an auto reversing layout. I am now gleaning that in order for a setup to work, one end of the track has the special barn or station which contains the circuitry to do the auto reversing work. 
Is this station or barn available separately ?. I see it is available as part of a train set on Bachmanns web site.

Also what goes on at the other end of the track  from the station building end to make the trolley reverse ?
Thanks

Thanks for the advice Stemegene. The plug was in fact rectangular, but other than that, you were right on the money. I am all set, the decoder is on its way and should go in without a problem
Its the 10th day of Christmas, and the lords are a-leaping !

Having just taken the cover off the 44t Switcher however, I can see that this one won't be so straightforward ( no 8 pin plug )

Hello
I am new to the model railroad hobby, and have recently bought a DCC ready 2-10-0 Russian Decapod. I understand that the decoder goes into an 8 pin socket inside the tender from looking at previous posts. When I remove the tender "hood", where can I find the blanking plug ( i.e is it on top of the circuit board that lies directly underneath the hood or underneath the circuit board ? I am not sure what this blanking plug looks like
Are there any step-by step instructions anywhere for this loco ? I have scoured the web for this particular engine but have not found anything.

Any advice to prevent mydestruction of this fine loco's electrics would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the detailed response Jake. I think the #5 turnout meets the criteria the best

Hello
I have 22" radius on the outside loop of my layout. if I wanted to continue the curve at the same radius, which turnout # should I use ?

Just for reference, what radius are the #5 and #6 turnouts ?

Many thanks
Ian
