That makes good sense to me.? I will experiment and see if it proves out.
Thanks Billybob!

Chris,
By default (according to the SE8C manual I have), the SE8C has its OpSw 14 set to "thrown". This means that the SE8C gets its control messages from the DCC track signal. And, if you have the NCE DCC track signal driving your Standalone LocoNet "RailSync" wires, this would explain why you saw the NTxx messages controlling the SE8C.
But if you have SE8C OpSw 14 set to its non-default value of "closed", the SE8C will pay attention to the LocoNet "Data" wires. Your Standalone LocoNet gets its signal on the LocoNet "Data" wires via the LocoBuffer-USB, and the SE8C would therefore be controlled via JMRI "LTxx" control messages.
I suspect you had OpSw at its "default" value when the JMRI NTxx turnouts controlled the SE8C signals, and had changed SE8C OpSw 14 to "Closed" before finding that the JMRI "LTxx" turnouts were controling the SE8C signals.
