Reply to "Help picking a control system"

Not advocating for any particular control system here, and like many who've been silent thus far, I think it would be great if there were ways to incorporate additional compatible control systems into 3-rail O gauge.

This discussion led me to wonder why exactly DCC and TMCC on the rails are electrically incompatible.  While searching, I found this reply from @gunrunnerjohn in this other topic TMCC and DCC which I think explains the electrical incompatibility fairly well.  That discussion continues and more is revealed about the whys and why nots for anyone interested.

The end of the thread left open the possibility of using bluetooth or RF wireless DCC concurrently with TMCC on the rails, but at present, there is no conclusive follow-up in that thread on the results of testing.

@BOB WALKER and @sinclair do you have any updates to the question of Wireless DCC compatibility with TMCC?
