I am having difficulty in understanding how to hook up a turnout motor correctly. I have read both of the DCC books and they do not explain it.(or else I could not find it) I am using Atlas 100 rail with Peco insulfrog turnouts. I have the Peco motors that go underneath the turnout. My question is, what do I hook the motor to? Correct me if I am wrong.... do I use a stationary decoder? (that only does 4 turnouts and is expensive) But then, what does that get hooked to?...... my Digitrax command station? Eventually, I would like to run everything from a computer and also manual switches on the base board. If anyone has an easy to read diagram, I would greatly appreciate it.
