As a newbie to trains I am sure this is a very basic question but for some reason I can not find the answer in the Bachmann instructions. How do you connect the remote turnouts so they are active and can be operated?
I have the following (plus track and 1 DCC train):
-2 Remote Turnout - Left, each with an attached green wire and a black (female) connector
-2 Remote Turnout - Right, each with an attached green wire and a black (female) connector
-4 black switches each with a 2 prong (male) connector, a 3 prong (male) connector and a 2 prong (female) connector. The 2 prong connectors are at opposite ends of the rectangular switch.
-4 green wires with a black (female) connector on one end and a 3 prong (male) connector on the other end.
-1 red wire with a black (female) connector on one end and a 2 prong (male) connector on the other end
-E-Z Command DCC Control system
-1 red wire that goes from the DCC to the track
-power supply for the DCC.
I am lost. The DCC system is able to power the train and I can switch the tracks manually but no combination of connecting the switches seems to have worked so far.
If there actually is a manual/paper out there that explains this please direct me to it.
