General Discussion / On30 turntable wiring
October 23, 2019, 08:41:26 PM
As you can see I am new to the modeling business.  I purchase a really nice wood laser cut ON30 turntable kit.  The kit came with a pdf instruction but no real wiring diagrams.  When I asked the manufacturer his comments (paraphrasing) was I would have thought you would have had the basic concept about wiring.  But no I don't and wasn't going to get it from him.  He suggested I use a Dual frog juicer, for reversing polarity, which since I'm using DCC Bachmann EZ command system would also require a DCC booster.  It didn't show how to wire the track or turntable with that.  Also my thought was would the Bachmann auto reversing module work instead of the juicer/booster and if so how best to wire it?  He also said I could use a DCC loco decoder to wire to the motor to control it like a loco from the EZ command control.  Again no wiring suggestions.  I guess I should have spent $1000 on a completed turntable and not tried this challenge.  Any suggestion?  Thanks
