Anyone using these? Each decoder will control up to four turnouts. I have a few questions for those of you who use them: <br /> <br />1. How do you wire to turnouts that are several feet apart from each other? <br /> <br />2. Can they be programmed on the DT400 throttle once they are wired in the layout with the Tortoises wired up? <br /> <br />3. Can someone show me a wiring diagram for wiring the DS44 and the tortoise to control a Peco Code 83 Insulfrog turnout? <br /> <br />4. I am having trouble programming them, can someone provide a step by step instruction? <br /> <br />I know enough to be dangerous. [:D] I know the black and red lead from the decoder is powered from my DCC main bus. I know that the 8 wires from the decoder represent 2 leads to each of the 4 turnouts and that the white wire is for programming only. <br /> <br />If you having any links that can help here, I'd appreciate it! <br /> <br />Thanks! <br /> <br />
