Atlas crossover question with DCS

[Fred Bear]

Just wondered, if a person used an X crossing, say 60 degree, but used the X for running two different loops, with the DCS system, would this work out OK, wanting to run two seperate trains? I think it would be OK, as  you can run two trains on the same loop with DCS or would the circuits be fouled up?

Next, does someone make moving cars for O scale layouts that could be tied into the DCS? Thanks to all, Jake

Jake, as long as you have the two loops isolated from each other---(which is pretty much standard practice anyway)--- and the two loops are powered by Fixed 1 (loop 1) & Fixed 2 (loop 2), there should be no problem.  If by "moving" cars you mean cars  that are labeled "operating", at this time, there are no cars operated by DCS--- but since MTH has developed the technology for it's Silver Bullet train, I expect that it will migrate to future MTH operating cars.

Thanks for the answer, much appreciated. By cars I mean actually vehicles, old trucks, anything authentic for the roadway. Like the old race car sets we all had at Christmas. Anything that would fit in O scale for automobiles that could be ran? I think I've seen layouts in Toy Train show on TV that moved, just wondered where ya find em? Thanks, Jake

Hi Jake !!  As for autos & trucks, you may want to check out the new catalog for K-line by Lionel. Later after these get out there more maybe  we can figure a way to adapt our own choices of cars or trucks to their chassis, like we used to do in slot cars !!
