Following are detailed instructions that worked for me.
To Program:
1   Press and hold the program button on the turnout till it toggles.
2   Press the "Switch" key on the Digitrax DCS51.
3   Press the # key you want to assign to the switch.
4   Press the cv-wr key to program. The switch will toggle 4 times to indicate it has been programmed.
To Operate:
1   Press the "Switch" key.
2   Press the # key you assigned to the switch. 2 switches programmed to the same number will work in tandem but must be programmed individually.
3   Press t (cv-rd) or c (cv-wr) key to toggle the switch to Thrown or Closed. For some reason my switch indicator is opposite to the actual position.
4   Your throttle and direction controls will work normally while in Switch mode.
Hope this helps.

See "turnout derailments" July 25 on this board. It may help.

Just a follow up. I dressed up some of my other switches and it makes for much smother running. Fortunately I have a Dremel tool and a small enough bit to work with. Be very careful though that bit can take off a lot of material in a hurry. I hope this helps others with the same problems.

Thanks Kevin for the tip. I did take the lower lip off the main rail where the point meets it and that seems to have solved the problem. The train follows the point much more smoothly, even at higher speeds. Hopefully the problem will not resurface. I may go back and dress up the other turnouts later. Thanks again, you guys are great.

Thanks for the reply. I tested the spring tension in both directions and it seems to be about the same. I did find though that when I manually press the point against the outside rail after toggling the switch, the cars make the turn much more consistently. They always run fine in the closed position. I tried bending the point a little and it seems to help some. I will continue experimenting with that point. Thanks again for your help and I will post again if I get it fixed. I would hate to tear that switch up to replace it because it's all landscaped and ballast put down.

I have all HO E-Z track and DCC turnouts. All work find and switch on demand.  Problem is one left turnout tends to derail cars when in the thrown position. The engine runs through just find but cars derail easily, even at slow speeds. The cars are weighted properly and run through just fine if I push them by hand. I checked the gage of the track and the cars and all are on spec. I video taped it and ran it back in slow motion. When the derailment occurs the front truck causes the points to momentarily go to the closed position and the wheel runs to the outside of the point. The rear truck follows the turn OK because the points have sprung back to the thrown position where it should be. This can happen to any car from the first behind the engine or one farther back. It doesn't happen all the time but more often than not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info, I will try that. The track hasn't been used that much, fairly new setup, so that shouldn't be the cause. I'll keep you informed with the results.

I have several EZ Track DCC turnouts. 3 work fine but one left turnout is just a tad wide just where the point rail starts and a bit beyond. At the beginning I had derailments occasionally at that point but derailments are now the rule almost every time even if I go very slow. It is not the point rail but the mains that are too wide.The engine makes it OK but the following car almost aways derails now. How can I adjust the main rail inward to fix this problem. I would hate to have to replace the turnout as it is glued down. I didn't want to bend anything and maybe do more harm until I knew what I'm doing.
Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks.
