Lionel ASC's for my switch yard and turnouts.

Hi Guys

The latest info that I can gleam from the net is using the above units for flipping my switches is a good thing according to Lionel Legacy. Back in 02, I think I used a duel push button. It was a PITA to wire and use but it worked. Looking ahead toward the next level. I'm keeping my old switch units that are usable, New ones will be new RCS / DZ1000's. All my switches are RCS/DZ1000's. Got a heck of a lot more switches now Please give me your pro's and con's. on this setup. I ain't looking at accessory's now. Later on for sure.

Life is Good and my best regards,

Tommy

I used asc's , over 5 of them chained together, with my legacy system for a number of years to control tortoise machine switches. The controllers are very reliable and have never has a problem with them. I did use the DZ switch machines early in building my layout and found the DZ-2500 and 1000 to be more problematic to get to work. But they were easier to install than the tortoise machine.

I use the DZ-2500, and I agree they're not bulletproof. And I used them for the same reason as above, they looked much easier to install. Sadly, if I had it to do over again... shake

I use the SC2 boxes to control my turntable, three of them switch the whisker tracks and control direction of rotation.

On my last Layout I used Atlas Track & Atlas Switches! I controlled 52 Seitches with ASC’s & had no trouble whatsoever!!
