 Never heard of them and google isn't helping much - any other information on the boards or the instruction sheets?

I didn't find anything about the company, either.  Maybe you could post what the instructions say, and from that, along with what you want to do, someone can help.

Randy, who replied to you first, as far as I'm concerned is the resident electrical, DC, and DCC wizard.

The company (and any support for those products) seems to be long-gone. There is an old manual on the Internet, but maybe it only duplicates what you already have.

Hmm, killed by OpenLCB? The OP's board with a copywrite date of 2004 would have to be an older product than that manual, no one even thought of OpenLCB 14 years ago.

I came across aboard for 90001-DC/DCC Automatic Reversing Unit with no instructions for hooking up.  Can I use this on 3-rail DCS or non-command mode?  If so, how do you wire the board?

You probably want to make this a stand-alone thread on the Classic Toy Trains Forum, rather than a reply to a 5-year-old thread in this Forum.
