Initially my problem with this turntable was the set up instructions that came with it. Not very informative and confusing electrical/wiring process, especially since I wanted to hook it up to my ESU ECos command station. Well, the Christmas spirit set in and I managed to do a work around....which was pretty simple. There is no way to control the movement of the bridge unit through the ECos.....you must use the control unit that comes with the transfer table set......so I wired that portion through a Marklin 6646 AC transformer that I had. Then it was the issue of track power. Well I connected the track power from the ECos, to power the bridge.....which also activates power to each track station that it stops at. Done. The approach track off the main, again powered from the ECos.....simply runs the loco to the transfer table bridge. Otherwise I would have to isolate that section of track to be powered via the Marklin 6646. Merry Christmas......
