Will a Gargrave uncoupling track also work on operating dump cars? I need to know before I can finishing laying track. Thanks, you guys are the best.

Jim, if your op dump car has the plunger type bottom then the 107 uncoupler track is all you need. If your op car has the sliding shoes then you'll need the UC/UL operating five rail track section.
Yes. The OTC Controller is an on/off switch. Nothing special. Better off wiring them direct to their switch. If you plan to use the OTC, go to the GG site and it will show the wiring diagram. Be aware there are two versions off the 108 model - one has a two button controller and one has a three button controller - pre and post 2004 production. The pre 2004 has a magnet which is a bit high and effects running trains over it. Some people have shaved them down.
