Ok so I have an HO layout a whole slew od DPDT swiches from old layouts already cross wired and ready. I am using tortoise machines and Digitrax zephyr (which I will have ot add a booster to later). Can you wire straight from the two wires that come off the DCC or do I have to have some decoder wired in between the DCC wire and the toggle switch? I have Lionel Strang's book but its pretty vague and the only clear instructions with the tortoise at least clear ot me are the ones for DC which woul require me running another 50 feet of wire around my layout to feed power to all of the machines. I do not want ot do that i want a simple system without the spaghetti bowl mess of wire. <br /> <br />thanks
