Thank you.
The Atlas turntable needs no special wiring. It works the same for DC and DCC. There is a split-ring built into the Atlas turntable base which corrects the polarity. Look around the ring outside the turntable platform, and you will see the A and B markings on the various index points. As long as you wire the approach and stall tracks per the instructions, you won't need any extra equipment to run with DCC.
This is my "Pit-bash" of an Atlas turntable:
I had a lot of fun building this, and learned a lot of modeling skills along the way:

Thanks, yes I did that per the directions. Since it is wired for dcc loco's when the engine is turned does it have to have any reversing device ?
I used a 1" 2 pole jack for my pivot point and wired the TT rails through the jack, which sat in the female part. So to answer your question yes you have to power your TT rails seperately. I also geared the TT to a slow motor which is operated through a Decoder so I can operate the TT via the Controller.

I am new to the world of DCC. Had cab control on old layout years ago. I am building in Hon3. I am installing a Digitrax unit. I have run the bus wires and feeders to layout. I have installed an old atlas turntable in the yard. My ? is when the engine is turned will I need additional wiring/hardware so it will work?
