Reply to "Proposed Solution to DCS Watchdog in Yard Tracks (DCS-RC WD Gerber Files Added to First Post)"

John,

That's your definition of a good solution. 

Yes, it was. Be careful when you scratch an itch - you'll make that thin skin of yours bleed all over the place.

Regardless, have you thought about just hooking up a DCS Remote Commander in Passive mode so that when you select a siding with your selector switch, the DCS Commander receiver emits the watchdog signal?

The receiver is less expensive than a TIU and, unlike the TIU, there's no Aux. Power requirement. This solution should be just as simple as yours only less expensive and a bit less work to implement.

BTW, it's on page 206 of The DCS Companion 3rd Edition.
