    Im finally getting my Kato Unitrack based table wired up. Basic operation has been tested, and everything is either screwed/glued down or nearly so.

    I've been working on this off and on for the past couple years as I have had time, (its my winter project) and I've already had to replace two of the Kato controls due to failure, and looks like I am about to replace a third. They are annoying, expensive and unreliable. I've had it.

    Does anyone know how to wire up the Atlas controls to the Kato turnouts? Kato turnouts are bipolar and only use two wires, not the typical 3 wire setups that Atlas machines use. I need to figure out how to reverse the polarity between the two wires instead of having a common and two returns.

    Or am I hosed?
