Reply to "Conventional Walk-Around Control"

Hi Guys:

Thanks for indulging me. Realistically, it will be several years before I could actually have a need for a system, but I am curious as to what I would be up against.

Let me ask this:

I would intend to wire/block any future 3 rail layout for conventional operation and use rotary switches to assign block control. i.e. Commonly called "Cab Control" way back when, and this is pretty much the way things were done electrically before the advent of command control. My idea is to dedicate a "cab" (rotory switch position) to one side of the PW ZW, another "cab" to the other side of the PW ZW, and a "cab" for command control in order to access the walk-around feature. Thus, would a complete TMCC1 or Legacy, or DCS system function okay with such an arrangement? This way, it would be isolated from the ZW-controlled blocks. Seeing as I would be using 6-position rotary switches, I still have 3 positions on the rotary for additional "cabs" if desired. Am I making sense?
