gunrunnerjohn posted:If you use the variable TIU channels (in fixed mode) to control the tracks, you can seamlessly run TMCC, DCS, and conventional on the same track with no physical switching. If you are running conventional, you simply power and select the track on the DCS remote and vary the thumbwheel, the channel drops into variable mode. When you're done, the next power cycle on that TIU channel reverts to fixed mode again.
I do something similar but I had Legacy first before I added DCS, so I use the Lionel Powermaster which allows me to control track power from my Legacy CAB 2 remote for operating conventional on the same loop where I operate Legacy and DCS. Rarely though have I run conventional locos while running command locos. However, I am quite regularly running DCS and Legacy engines at the same time which I can now do just with the DCS app.
