Would a tuned step up transformer be easier to design than the" lionel/DCS switching device" you were talking about earlier in the post. The "lionel/DCS switching device" would address the issue when the Lionel signal was to strong for the DCS signal, but would it address the issue of just poor DCS signal strength on a layout w/o TMCC.
Would a step up transformer address both issues of strong Lionel signal & poor DCS signal?
This is correct. Making the DCS signal voltage excursion larger solves the a weak DCS signal and overcomes a tmcc signal inflating the correlator floor. The switching device I'm working on just stops the tmcc signal from being involved. However making the DCS signal larger would be really complicated.

Thanks for all your efforts in trying to address these DCS issues. The four threads you are currently running on DCS are great and helps many of us to better understand the technical portion of DCS. I am very interested to learn more about the DCS/Lionel switching device and try it out at NJ-HI Railers.
