 :) ok i know there have been numerous messages about ez track turnouts . I'm just confused at this point .
I have a basic layout at this point with final tracK work will have four turnouts .
How do I wire these things using the bachman dcc controller ,  DO I need to use a secondary dcc controller and if I do how would i wire the the second controller . this just seems a bit confusing right now and with the the stuff i read just makes it worse  Will the single dcc controller be enough to power the 4 turnouts and the trains .will be running accesories on a different controller.
well thanks for any help or imformation

Unless you purchased the turnouts with a decoder installed (no wires or controller), you will not be able to operate them from your DCC controller.
The turnouts that come with a supplied controller are wired like this diagragm...

You will need to wire to a separate A/C power supply such as the ones you may use for your lighting.
If you care to they can be wired to the same controller as they only draw power for a nano second when the controller is thrown. This may cause your lights and other accessories to dim momentarily.
