Installing Aristocraft Reversing Unit

I have received some answers for which I thank you very much. But let me clarify with a little more detail as to what is confusing to me.<br /><br />I have the instructions that came with the unit but still need help in understanding what to do. There are 2 pieces of track with a gap in one rail. I think I place one piece of track at each end of my point to point....making sure that the gap is on the same rail. What I'm unsure of is where the 2 diodes and 2 thin small brass 'spacers' go. They are in a small plastic bag. The 'spacers' are one inch long by 1/4 inch wide and are very thin with a short 'slot' at each end.<br /><br />The instructions say "Install an insulating rail joiner at the rail gaps"....which I think I understand. The next step "Solder the diodes in place across the rail gaps". Now I'm not sure what this means. Does this mean on the rail opposite the insulating rail joiner AND on the same side as the gap in the rail at each end? If so, what are the 2 brass 'spacers' like items for and how do I use them?<br /><br />I'm sure when it's all done and running I will wonder why I didn't get it. But as I said, Im electronically challenged.<br /><br />Thanks for whatever advice you can offer.<br /><br /> <br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
