I am totally ignorant about DCC, so please tell me if this is whacked out thinking: If you have Atlas controllers and selectors, the old 1960's style of common rail cab control wiring, and you want to convert that DC system to DCC, couldn't you just throw all the Atlas switches to cab "A" (or cab "B"), and then remove that cab "A" DC pack, and connect your DCC power source to the same wires that fed out of the DC pack? By throwing all the Atlas switches the same direction, you would be creating one big electrical block, right? Why won't that block work for DCC? Again, I admit my ignorance. Please tell me what I'm missing here. Thanks.
