Reply to "Suggestions for an O gauge 3 rail DCC system that works with JMRI, and multiple protocols"

If you are asking is there a DCC system that can run all the locos you listed, the short answer is no. MTH PS3 locos are the only out-of-the-box locos that support DCC. All other locos would require a DCC decoder to be installed (if DC motor equipped). Your asks are not really compatible with each other. DCC cannot run concurrently with either Legacy/TMCC or DCS. The most common combination set up is probably Lionel Legacy and MTH DCS, which can be run concurrently. Both systems have apps that can be used with them. It is certainly possible to have all 3 systems on one layout, but it wouldn't work quite the way I believe you are asking.

MRI works with TMCC/Legacy; not sure about DCS. Signaling can be separate from the control system so CMRI with JMRI should be no issue.
