Rich,
Thanks for the info.. Needless to say the reason I was asking was because I didn't know what the function of the "common positive" was and it wasn't explained well in the Bachmann instructions. Normally a common is usually just referred to as the "common". But in retrospect the white wire is referred to as the "Function Output A" and the yellow as "Function Output B". Guess I could have associated "function output" with "function common". But like you said why guess and smoke it...
I also found a good write up about DCC wiring at the following url: http://modeltrains.about.com/od/electronicsdcc/ht/Install-A-Dcc-Decoder.htm
I just finished wiring it (Northern 4-8-4 N scale) up and am going to ring it out with the ohm meter tomorrow before I unpack and read up on the E-Z Command Control system.
Thanks again for the input!
Fred
