Reply to "Running DCS engines on a currently-TMCC layout"

Have you considered wiring the TIU to the tracks in passive mode?  Power up the layout as if you were running a TMCC locomotive but then turn on the DCS remote and run the MTH stuff that way.  You also need power for the TIU.  I used the power unit that came with an MTH starter set, I believe.  This is probably the simplest way to get up and running with DCS.  Granted you lose the ability to run TMCC locos and conventional locos via the MTH remote, but frankly that is not much of a loss from my perspective.  If you like DCS you can make that your primary layout operating system, but you can test the waters first in passive mode.
