@davidbross posted:You cannot run Legacy and DCC if the DCC is in the rails. There are systems out there that do not put the DCC into the rails. Bluerail is one such system. Bluerail is nice because your locos can still be powered by AC power or you can convert the battery power.
You do realize this is a 2 year old thread? I understand you love this Bluerail stuff. Some of us don't. And you are incorrect about Legacy and DCC on the same track. Again, if you read this whole thread, and my other posts on the topic, you can run Legacy locomotives on track that also contains the DCC signal. I do it at home all the time. The only issue is most electrocouplers will not fire. For this reason I do not recommend it unless you keep an eye on things so as to not burn your couplers up. In some situations the DCC signal will over power the Legacy signal, but that is the exception and not the rule.
TMCC on the other hand is different. The DCC signal does not hurt the locomotives, but the locomotives will either act like there is no TMCC signal, or will see the signal but ignore all commands.
