I was unsure how complicated wiring would be. But I can tell you it is not Smile

1. There are three areas that need to powered by the switch machine. Sounds complicated but two areas are wired together and are powered from one switch machine. The third one goes to the other switch machine. That is easy ones you know which two belong together. I found a nice explanation in the web http://www.loystoys.com/peco/about-3-way-turnouts.html.

2. The middle four rails are switching polarity as the switch machines are set. Therefor those four rails need to be isolated from the attached tracks.
That is all about wiring Thumbsup
