Using dcs to operate lionel sc1 and c2 switch controllers

Jerry AOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Hi all,

Now that I am on the right forum please advise if there is any way to use Lionel SC1 and SC2 controllers with a dcs system? I currently have Lionel cab 1l system and I'm planning to go with also a DCS system. I currently have several Lionel twitch controllers and would like to know the best way to operate with a combined BCS system. One member suggest that I parallel wire the SC1 and SC2 controllers with a DCS accessory switch controller and use both DCS and Lionel controllers to control the switches. I would really like to use one or the other controller Iif possible to activate the switches. I am using Lionel post-war tubular switches by the way. Any help would be appreciated as usual.

Jerry,

No, there is not.

In order to operate switch tracks from the DSCS remote, you must use an MTH AIU.

This and a whole lot more is all in “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition!"

This book is available from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at OGR’s web store!

Thanks for the reply Barry. Appreciate it. Down the road I probably still will go with a DCS system.
