Can anybody help me in making peco turnouts dcc friendly.

I have looked at www.wiringfordcc.com and am a bit confused.
When looking at the diagrams and digital images posted I cannot properly
determine what I have to do to my (SL-E388F's and SL-E389F's).

Or should I just get Atlas55 ( some say it is more DCC friendly out of the
box)?

Isolate both legs, all four rails, and feed it from the points. Run a jumper under
the turnout from the point side to each rail in each leg.

Are you doing N scale?

Thanks for the input.

Purchased the Big book and think I have got it. Will try the cutting and
jumpering in the next few days to see how it works. Just took staring at my
turnout vs. some diagrams. They have made the jumper very easy to work
with, unless there is some hidden connection I dont know about.

Thanks again
