First, welcome to the forums. You will find a lot of help here. But you will help the helpers if you include sufficient and accurate information in your queries.

I believe you are referring to the MRC 501 powerpack, not a "Marc 501." If you are trying to wire a rerse section/loop or a turntable (which is one type of a reversing section) you are using the right parts. There is a wiring diagram at the link below that shows how to do the wiring:

Good luck.
