HI everyone,
I am using post-war Lionel switches and track on my layout. I have sc1 and sc2 switch controllers for 35 switches. They are not hooked up as of yet. I plan to also add MTH DCS equipment along with Lionel cab 1L. I am planning to run both TMCC and DCs eventually. Please advise if I wire in the Lionel switch controllers if they can be controlled by the MTH DCs remote? Do I have to add MTS switch controllers also?
As usual, thank you for your reply, Jerry

Jerry,
If you desire to operate your switch tracks via the DCS Remote, you'll need to wire them to MTH AIUs. Each AIU can control 10 switch tracks and also 10 accessories.
You should be able to have the switch tracks wired to both the AIUs and your SC1/SC2 controllers, as well.
This and a whole lot more is all in “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition", available for purchase from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at OGR’s web store!
Thanks for all your help Barry. I do have the DCS companion and I have to get off my lazy butt and read it.
Much thanks again, Jerry
