[rogerw]

You put the two wires from your command station to the two rails.

The best book you could probably get would be the Atlas Wiring Guide. It'll tell you not only how to set up the DCC wiring to the tracks but also what exactly to do to wire your turnouts in sequence and independently.

I'm using it for my layout (once I get started lol...)

I was confused until I bought some automatic reversing switches. The instructions were easy to follow so they allowed me to wire two loops into my layout. At a glance, it looks like you will need at least three or four of them.

bspun2: It looks as if you have a reversing section on that track (or tracks) right down the middle (the diagram is kinda small). Your quickest way to wire this is isolate it (plastic rail joiners or gaps in both rails) at both wyes and at the track that trails across the middle, and wire this through a reversing module.The rest of the layout canbe wired as a single block.
The only other possible complication is the turntable -- wiring this will depend on which turntable you have.

Hi bspun2,

How is it going? Has the information provided above in suggestions and links helped out? If not there are many members here who use DCC (myself not included, unfortunately) and who will be happy to help if you can provide more information.
Regards,
Ralph
