too bad there is not an easy way to hook up fastrack switches to atlas track.
We love happy endings. 
Try buying from www.modeltrainstuff.com I got my command control switches for less than my hobby shop was selling the regular power switches.

(I gave all my Lionel tubular track and switches to my son for his planned toy train layout in his new house.)

Is that what the data connection on the switch is for, to connect the switch to the DZ 2500?

And you can use the Dat port on an ASC as your data wire feed to the DZ 2500. I doublechecked this with Lionel. I don't have a DZ 2500 yet, or need one right now, but I'm dying to get one just to try it out...
All my 30 switches are command controlled using SC1 and SC2 controllers. Recently had to replace the antenna in one SC2 with a larger one I made from copper foil. Also have run earth ground near each unit to insure consistent reliable operation. Since the new switches have antennas, I would not be surprised to hear that these types of modifications will be necessary on some layouts.
