I have the legacy system. Recently I have been tempted to buy some MTH locomotives as some Amtrak models are not make by Lionel. My question is that if I buy DCS as well, canthey both be connected to the same. Track at the same time.  And I can control Lionel by legacyland mth by dcs or they can only be connected one at a time. Also will it be wise to do so or I shall just be satisfied whatever Lionel makes

.  

Thanks

Your Legacy wiring will not need to change, the DCS wiring is sometimes an entirely different beast. Barry's book would help you with that.

 

The best thing is wire  the two systems separately, but you can use them at the same time . If you want to you can use a MTH cable to tie the two bases together and operate the Lionel train's basic TMCC functions (None of the Legacy functions) with the DCS controller
