    I am looking for a link to hidden decoder installations in Kato unitrak turnouts with digitrax DS51K decoders.

    I found a link to a german page that has what looks like instructions for all three kato turnouts.

    http://www.noch.de/pictures/PDFs/KATO/DS51K-deutsch.pdf

    Any know if there are english versions of these instructions can be found?

    Thanks in Advance.

    Try this link to Allen Gartner's wiring for DCC for starters. He has written about a Kato 4 N, 6 N and 6 N crossover.

    I hope it helps

    If you follow this link I posted some pictures of where I have done this install in a #6 turnout:DS51K install If you have any questions about how to do it, just let me know.

    Thank you both for your quick responses and links. I just bought a few DS51K1 and I am about to install them. I like the ablility to hide them in the switch. I'm also interested in the way they are installed into the double crossover switch. I have not be able to find any information except for that German article.
