MTH Full DCS System(not DCS Commander) and DCC

FM Former Member

Does anybody have any experience running DCS and DCC on the same layout at the same time? Can you put a DCC system through the fixed output on the DCS system and not confuse everything or is it one or the other. I am setting up an HO scale layout for my dad and I want to use the DCS system since it is stupidly simple and my dad is not a learning kinda guy so it is easy for him to use but want to be able to run DCC for other locos. Do I need to isolate the 2 systems?

Matt,

 

You most certainly cannot operate DCS and DCC on the same track at the same time.

 

As far as passing the DCC signal through a TIU channel:

  • DCC is DC and the variable channels will not pass DC
  • If you passed DCC signals through the fixed channels, it might work, if and only if, the DCS signal was turned off on the fixed channels
