Reply to "Combining a MTH DCS System with a TMCC/LEGACY System"

I run Legacy, TMCC (ERR kits) and DCS engines simultaneously even on the same loop.  It is nice to be able to purchase engines from any vendor without worrying about the command system.  MTH has a cable (I built my own) that runs from the TIU to the Legacy controller.  You need to follow Barry's wiring guidelines (he has an inexpensive book that will answer any questions) and with a couple of exceptions they will all run well together.  While the DCS to Legacy link exists with their cable, I have found that the way I run my trains, I use both DCS and Legacy controllers.  DCS can only run Legacy engines in TMCC mode which may or may not be a concern depending upon how you run your trains.
