Lionel used to offer a TMCC module (6-14185) for controlling an operating track section. So far, they haven't offered an LCS version. Of course, the TMCC module could be used together with a 6-81326 LCS Serial Converter (SER2). But does it seem that it would work to use the relays of an ASC2 or a BPC2 to control an operating track section?

The Lionel LCS Accessory Switch Controller ASC2 6-81639 will control operating tracks.
LCS ASC2 module: http://www.lionel.com/products...oller-2-asc2-6-81639
The manual is here: https://www.lionelsupport.com/...inalownersmanual.pdf
Page 25 of the manual shows an example of wiring the ASC2 to an operating track
For the Lionel Fastrack operating track refer to the attached 78-1639-250 Fastrack Operating Section with ASC2 setup 10-2017.jpeg
Thank you!
I wired my track per the attached drawing but now my locomotive shorts out when going over the track. When I remove the jumper wire all is good with the locomotive but then the asc2 won’t operate it with jumper wire removed. Need some help and thank you in advance.
Sparty,
Try this instead (pay particular attention to the connection shown in blue, moved from where it originally was):
The previous drawing had hot shorting to ground whenever the ASC2's internal relay closed.

Hi mike thank you for responding. I have it wired like this which looks the same. When I remove the jumper wire the locomotive doesn’t short. However when in place it shorts. Without the jumper the asc2 won’t activate.
Go White!
