Thanks Mike.  That's too logical; no wonder all of my wives thought I was crazy.

I have looked for a message that covers my very basic question: How do you hook up a #4 turnout?  The diverging track has an angle so narrow I can't attach track to both ends.  I am sure I am missing something so basic it hurts, but I still would like some help. 

I have lost the mini to micro cable that came with my EZ Commander.  You know the one, it connects a DC controller to the DCC Commander.  I have never seen one for sale and wonder if I can use a regular audio mini - mini cable with a mini-micro adapter?  Has anyone else been as careless (or as dumb) as I and lost this part?

While this is a very minor problem, it is one I want to solve.  Your help is appreciated!
