Well, I have reached the point in trying to wire the layout that I need to install the Power District CB's and turntable reverser. (BTW I have the Digitrax Chief and pm42's.) I have 2 PM42's. #1 will be straight CB for 4 districts. #2 will have position 1-CB for staging, Position 2 - reverse loop for turntable, and position 3- CB for turntable.
I understand the pinout wiring for the "all CB" unit. Here is how I believe the second unit will pin out.
1 A
2 B - Ground from command unit
3 C - Power in from PS12 (connection also for other lead to pin 3)
Rail A in - -- 4 D
5 E - To Rail A Staging
6 F - To Rail B Staging
Rail B in --- 7 H
Section 3 A in- 8 J
9--K - To Turntable Rail A
10-L - To turntable Rail B
Section 3 B in- 11 M
Rail A in---- 12 N - To pin 8
13 P
14 R
Rail B in---- 15 S - to pin 11

I would appreciate your comments and corrections if I have done something wrong.
It has been a lot of fun running the three trains with the DCC but I still need to get the rest of the layout done. Wiring almost finished then we start the scenery.
Thanks for your help.
