Reply to "Lionel O Gauge Switches run with DC Wiring Question....."

Dedicated is fine, common ground is fine too, but DC won't "sneak" in, it will present as a bias/offset in the secondary winding if one of the phases, + or - , is loaded heavily and the other is not rather close to equal. The return will always be to the originating transformer unless it's a MASSIVE short, so the Acc transformer load should have no effect on the train transformers.
