My new decoder-is it working correctly?

Randy, <br />I had both the white and blue hooked up, per instructions. Because the blue wire is labelled positive in the diagram, that's how I rigged it-blue for positive and white to negative. According to NCE, that is fine IF the lighting is isolated. Mine wasn't. I still don't know which wire I am supposed to connect, though. Do I hook up the blue positive or the white negative? Doesn' the positive blue wire SEND power, then the lighting grounds through the frame? If I isolate it, it needs both, but if I install the light the way Athearn has it, I would think I should use the blue wire, right? Isn't the white wire a ground? Or am I backwards-do I hook up the white negative wire as you say?
