Thanks all - I have a solution. It basically uses the steps Bob suggested above but I lacked the knowledge of how to use my HEX Events ID to create the proper LCC turnouts. the final solution involved a LCC formatting situation I was not familiar with. I was working this issue over in the LCC forum and Ken gave me the detailed formatting instructions over there to handle my problems. I can now operate my DCC/Loconet turnouts and have LCC turnout follow it. This allows the LCC logic cells to make their signal calculations based on information from the actual turnouts over on the Loconet side.
Despite me finding a solution, I think it is still a good idea for JMRI to add some code somewhere that would automate this process for us. The solution I will now be using is very awkward because it requires you to take multiple? steps via a Logix and also requires you to be able to type in 16 pairs of numbers for the HEX info...and you need to do this for each turnout involved.
