i am using dcc turnout control and would like to add this function. I
don't
want to change out all my stationary decoders. Any thoughts?
Steve,
I'm not sure I understand your question. You don't need to change the
decoders in your locomotives. You just need to start using the Hare.
Maybe this answers your question.
Are you already using DCC turnout control? Are you wanting to add
this capability to exisiting DCC turnout control?
Are you using toggle switches to control your Tortoises? Are you
wanting to add this capability to your existing toggle switches?

Allan, he stated his stationary decoders. Not locomotive. Stationary
Decoders is a NMRA name for what most people call accessory Decoders.
Steve, this feature is tied to stationary decoder and not the DCC system
or the engine decoders you use. To use this feature, unfortunately you
would have to change all you switch machine stationary decoders to the
"Hare" type. It the only switch machine decoder that can do this
without involving a computer or custom electronics.
However, if the issue is a reverse loop or turning wye, there are other
solutions for that come in the form of electronic autoreversers.
