I got the darn ds64's figured out finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy . Here's how it had to be hooked up with a seperate power supply although it could also be connected right to the track power.
The ds64's each putting out 4 addresses ( 4 addresses = 4 tortoise switches) also needed an individual board address ( this took some reading) There are 11 ds64's with starting address of 1 and last ds64 has address 44 .

And the most recent achievements .
I got the right side yard\siding all installed . I have just 2 tortoise's left to install.
Its messy but I didn't want anyone thinking I took the summer off. I know it doesn't look like much but I haven't got a lot of spare time and I wanted everything lining up perfect.
