Hi, I recently purchased a Kato N-gauge 20-220 Electric #4 Turn out and I wi***o install a Digitrax DS51K1 stationary decoder. There are (2) operations required to complete the installation per the Digitrax instructions. Has anyone ever attempted this before? (1) The Digitrax instructions, instructs me to connect the orange and gray wire to from the decoder to the turnout motor. I assume that the turnout motor can be found under the plastic base plate after removing the 5 screws. However which assembly is the turnout motor and where should I place the solders on the turnout motor so that I do not affect its operation? (2) Connect the red and black wires from the decoder to the track Where on the #4 turnout would it be advisable to place to solders? Note: Per Digitrax it says that the DS51K1 Stationary Decoder is #8220;for single machine control only#8221;. I have (2) turnouts which I want to DCC, so I guess I#8217;ll have to purchase another. Any information would be helpful and if there is a simpler easier way to install a stationary decoder, please tell us! [:)] Thanks, -reg
