Are these DCC systems bus; Lenz XpressNet, Digitrax LocoNet, Trix Selectrix SX compatible with each other?
The short answer is NO. The only 'standard' is the 'signal packet' sent from the DCC system to the decoder. Things like the cab bus and the throttles for the most part of not interchangeable.

The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.
(Modeling Freelance, Eastern US, HO scale, in 1962, with NCE DCC for locomotive control and a stand alone LocoNet for block detection and signals.) http://waynes-trains.com/ at home, and N scale at the Club.

But, the answer is still going to be "No."
You can use anything on the TRACK side from any manufacturer interchangeably. This includes locomotives, stationary decoders for turnouts, power boosters and auto-reverse modules. Pretty much nothing on the CONTROL side plays with other manufacturers' equipment. In particular, throttles and base stations are NOT interchangeable.
