Reply to "Conventional, LionChief & MTH DCS Remote Commander Question"

I would use a switch or relay to control the power to the siding where the conventional engine would be parked.  Remember, any interruption in power will cause the conventional engine to cycle to the next mode.  A derailment that doesn't cause power to be shut-down will most likely cause the conventional engine to cycle to forward or reverse.  

I have a similar setup on my layout and where I run conventional and command (of any sort).  I have sidings where I can shutdown the power to keep the conventional engines parked.
