Good day, I just picked up a Bachmann set and extra EZ track for my sons. I have a small layout setup so they can play with it, but I would like to add the turn outs but I am not sure how to hook them up. They did not come with any instuctions on how to hook up the wires.

In general the red wire with the connectors attaches to the acc point on you controller.  Then plug the black connector into the switch provided, goes on the side.  The green wire plugs into the switch also.  The green is a three wire connection so just look the switch over and you will understand which plugs into where.

To make the switch work you must first flip the switch and then push the button down for the switch move.  Don't hold it down too long you can burn the switch out.  On some of the switches you just had to slide it over and it would make a momentary  contact so you couldn't burn them out. :) Dale
