IKB 1985 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I have got the Rails Connect acessory decoders to power the points on the scenic section of my layout. The built in frog power was a big draw in that setup. Now even though I have DCC I'd rather set routes via the traditional switch route. Can I use the typical momentary switch but take power from the track bus? That'd certainly make wiring far easier and remove the need for a seperate 12v accessory supply. Thanks in advance for any thoughts! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKB 1985 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Yes I was aware it'd do "either", my concern was if mixing and matching would cause issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 It is either or, not both - you will screw up your track if you put DC on it with DCC, plus it won't be good for either your DC supply or your DCC command station. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
