Not Seasoned Yet,

    IMO you should consider investing in a Legacy or TMCC operating system for your

FasTrack, with the advent of Command Control low voltage wireless switches, there is no need for running a bunch of switch wiring to an AIU too control FasTrack switches any more.  The Legacy Cab2 or TMCC Cab1 will operate CC FT switches from track power as many as you will ever need.  My only mistake was not adding Legacy to my DCS layout as soon as the FT CC switches were invented.  The FT CC switches work great with all the different kinds of O gauge trains, including Tin Plate, original or Repro, no wiring required.  This also opens up a lot of Legacy engines to add to your layout, to be controlled from either DCS hand held remote control or the Legacy Cab2 or TMCC Cab1.   Command Control FasTrack Switches are serious stuff!

I have done this and would recommend using AUX power for switches and just leave the provided lever controller connected as it was.  The controller LED will indicate red/green even if the command to change comes from the AIU, (or if you push the switch rail with your finger!)
