Rich I figured it out....Have to be in operations mode to make things work.....The switch button must be similar to the accessories button.  After entering the address for the turnout you have to press the address 3 more times, for a total of FOUR, to get a response.  The switch will toggle four times to acknowledge.  Then you can operate the switch as shown on page 34 of the Digitrax Manual....Thanks for the assist.

Thanks Jeff and Nigel...Appreciate the help!

The controller has a switch mode for operating turnouts.  There is also a programming mode. The turnout itself has a programming button.

I am trying to program turnout operations for EZ track Command DCC turnouts using a Digitrax Zephyr DCS50 2.5 amp command station booster....but I can't get the booster and track to recognize each other.  Can someone supply a step by step as to how to do this?  Most grateful

Does Bachmann sell insulated rail joiners for isolating track sections?  If so what is the item number?  If not will any old HO insulated rail joiner do?  Regards
