Reply to "Wiring Help - Can 3356 Livestock Car Operate with DCS"

Thanks for the reply Dan, may I inquire as to why an AIU would make a difference? My understanding is that an AIU is just an accessory interface that supplies accessories with power. My real problem is that when I am in DCS mode the track voltage is fixed and is using DC instead of AC power but the corral and livestock car use AC to function and based on the wiring diagram they use track power to complete a circuit, see picture attached. So from my vantage point if the track is on DC power then I cannot run any AC accessories of of the track. I'm also assuming that if I run the engines on AC in conventional mode there is no way to use DCS functions like turning off and on the smoke. I also have the option to use the DCS Commander, Remote Controller, or Explorer TIU but I don't have the full blown TIU and AIU setup.
