You could solve the watchdog problem with the DCS-RC Perpetual Barking Watchdog Generator. This uses a DCS Remote Commander base and an add-on timer board that I created to solve the issue of a watchdog being missed.

The DCS-RC Watchdog is a small board that is installed in the MTH DCS Remote Commander to create a continuous watchdog generator for a selected track or set of tracks. This allows you to power sidings individually without cycling power on the whole TIU channel and still keeps any MTH DCS locomotives dark and silent.

The WD Generator Kit consists of a small PCB and a 3-pin mating connector to be soldered to the DCS-RC main PCB. The graphics below depict the location of the mating connector and the position of the WD board when installed.
