Block Control to DCC Question...!

I once read someone in the same boat using a very simple short cut... Wire your DCC to CAB 1, and throw all of your cab control OPEN for CAB 1. Just don't change the switches, and REMOVE all DC power from the track. Now, reverse loops will get a little tricky. With Digitrax, you have to buy a power pack setup to handle automatic Reverse Loop. <br /> <br />As time goes by, you can remove the "cab control" switches and wire them directly to your bus, and as time moves on, you are in a better position to go back and add block detection for DCC. <br /> <br />But, in the meantime, if you just "wire in" DCC and remove your DC, you can run trains!
