It might be helpful to envision a dual DC/DCC layout as being wired like a traditional two cab (Cab A, Cab B) DC layout, except that you're selecting DC or DCC instead of Cab A or Cab B for individual blocks. That, I believe, is essentially what cacole is describing, though on his club layout it's more elaborate than might be needed for a small home layout. I sometimes have the need to switch to one or the other to test something at home, but I simply swithch the whole layout. I have one set of master feeder wires to the track bus. It's either all DC or all DCC. Mike Tennent
