Your two systems do. Many do not. My understanding is that Lenz and Digitrax still do. NCE does not, EasyDCC has removed the functionality "since its uses significantly decreases system performance,

In addition, if you are running block systems for DC you are only running one locomotive per DCC control system. Simple. I¡¯ve done that as well as most of my locomotives have not yet been converted.

Most modern DCC systems cannot run a no-decoder DC locomotive. The NMRA standards provided for the optional possibility of running a single DC locomotive on DCC track, using a technique known as

This is what I¡¯m saying. Most DC locomotives will run on the latest DCC systems with NO modifications. All the DC engines are running as address 3 so your block control is still required but you

I also agree with Bruce, trying to run DC and DCC together is just asking for trouble. I think that model railroaders are sometimes a very cost conscience group and I count my self in that

You mentioned Arduino :-) A DCC decoder sketch connected to a track segment via an opto-isolator can detect valid DCC packets - the sketch's "got a valid packet" callback can function as a simple

I understand that but what Im saying is that since you can run DC locomotives on a DCC system you would no longer need to have your layout in DC mode anymore so you wouldnt have to worry about

Hi, In theory this should work. The devil is in the details. Many DC power supplies actually put out a pulsed or even PWM waveform that is sufficient to trigger a transformer coupled detector. I know

Locked Test version 4.13.1 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download.
This is the next in a series of test releases that will culminate in a production release, hopefully in Summer 2018. If you are currently using JMRI 4.9.6 or earlier, we strongly recommend that you

What you want is there to be no voltage across the gaps when you get there. Bad cases include: *) Both sides DC, but set to opposite polarity *) Both sides DCC, but wired opposite or running off

The VERY BEST way to prevent the disasters awaiting this scenario is to prevent its existence. Don¡¯t allow DC and DCC to exist on the same layout at the same time. Anything else is a recipe for

Mike, I appreciate the feedback. I don't _think_ I'm overthinking this idea. My goal is to prevent a DCC locomotive from going through a cross-over onto a track that is powered by DC. Also the

Most DCC systems can drive a DC locomotive defaulting to address 3. All the DC locomotives running in the DCC layout will be running from address 3 so you will still have to isolate blocks as normally
