What I need to do.

Change A to my outside rail of the oval. 

Change U to the middle rail.

 Yes.

Now I can run a single power wire from A to the switch for 5 volts, or

B to the switch for 11 volts, or

C to the switch for 16 volts.

 Well, no.

Run a single power wire, daisy chained or home run, from "C" to each of the fixed voltage plugs on the switches for 16 volts, which is what you need to get them to work. 5 volts("B") isn't enough.

"A" is common ground, already connected to the running rails of your switches through lockon clip "2", so "A" to the fixed voltage plugs will give you zero volts to power them.

Does this mean that U functions as a ground wire?

No, "U" is your variable track voltage, connected to lockon clip "1", and has the speed lever, direction control, and whistle control on it. you don't want this on accessories, lamps, or fixed voltage switches/turnouts.  "A" is common / ground wire.

My only other question is can I convert my controller on my remote control set type UCS to DPDT momentary switches with a center rest.  Is that possible?

Yes. Here is the diagram using a DPDT center off (On)-Off-(On) momentary switch.

6019 illustrated, RCS/UCS, GarGraves/Ross, RealTrax, FasTrack similar.

DPDT detail connections... three terminals on the left, three on the right, toggle/slide up & down, as viewed from the bottom.
