This is the instructions for wiring the R070 turntable .

Also have a read of this, which is aimed at converting to DCC but info is applicable to polarity changing for DC operation.

Jeepers. Using on DC/Analogue setup. Haven't got DCC right in my head yet.

Ignore the DCC conversion then and use either the R046 on-off switch from the controlled output of the HM2000 or an R047 on-off-on switch from the DC Aux output.

The product page is wrong in that it shows both R046 yellow and R047 green switches as on-off. The yellow switch should be described as on-on as it says it switches signals colour to colour or a turntable from fwd to rev. The green switch is an isolating switch - on-off, so can only send the turntable one way, which when used with the controlled (speed knob) output uses the controller to switch direction.

Could you point me in the direction for a primer in DCC.

You mean a DCC 101. 

An analogue controller sends a variable 0-12volts DC to the track and any loco thereon will move accordingly. To control several locos you need to isolate track sections and have several controllers to drive trains in their section.

With DCC you make the whole track live by way of the 15v track output from a single DCC controller. This output is a kind of AC not DC in that it is a square wave bipolar waveform that carries a zero-one coding that a decoder listens to.

Each loco has such a decoder fitted which has an address to which commands are sent from the controller down the rails.

Each decoder equipped loco will only respond to commands sent to its address therefore you can have many locos on the same track each under individual control.

For further details have a look at Brian Lambert's web site linked to in the general section - handy links sticky post. Other such DCC instructional sites are available.
