First who made your turnouts! are they DCC friendly? second you are going to need reverse loop modules and You can not hook up DCC like you hook up DC. first you will smoke that lenz system and I mean BURN IT UP. You need to read the first 4 MRH magazines on DCC because like me you have a heck of alot to learn. Be careful or you will burn out your engines your Lenz system and have one big paper weight so stop running trains until you learn alot more. your very lucky you still have a system. Check out the auto reverse modules here on the forums. if you are hooking you wiring up end to end it's wrong. I have put some URL's on DCC to help. http://jmri.sourceforge.net/apps/DecoderPro/Tour.html Next is JoeF DCC University http://siskiyou-railfan.net/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?3438.0 Next is the Lenz web instructions manuals http://www.lenz.com/manuals/index.htm This final site is everthing you could want to know about DCC http://www.wiringfordcc.com/wirefordcc_toc.htm Dan

I've spiked my first turnouts in 1987 for my station Naumburg. Since that time I've built hundreds. Now I solder the turnouts and trackwork became an important part of the hobby for me.

With scratchbuild turnouts there're no problems, they're DCC friendly.

If I see it correct, you need for the track to the right of SW #2 a reverse unit. Or simple a switch for the first time.
