Bill,
I have run DCS and Legacy together for years now, Barry was nice enough to advise/teach me about DCS even before his 1st book was written. I highly recommend his DCS O Gauge Companion Book, it saves both the beginner and the experienced from making mistakes, and eliminates a big learning curve.
As experience as I am with building DCS/Legacy layouts I still reference Barry's Book all the time when building my layouts.

Barry also took time out of his Sunday (this past Sunday) to walk me through some DCS->TMCC issues I was having. What a guy, what a guy! And I had his book out just this morning troubleshooting a wiring issue that arose when I installed a Z-1000 in place of a Lionel ZW.

Whodathunk that simply replacing a transformer would cause a TIU hiccup. But it did, and Dr. Broskowitz's book walked me through the process of getting it right.

He is indeed "The Doctor of DCS"!
