steve, <br /> <br />mdent had the quickest approach for immediate running. To be safe, remove/disconnect ALL DC powerpacks from the layout. Then attach the new DCC power to CAB 1 (or CAB 2) and throw all the switches to that cab. You now have DCC power to all tracks. If you used power routing turnouts to turn power on and off to sidings you will need to add power feeds to these sidings and be sure that your turnout frogs don't create a short. <br /> <br />Over time you can strip all of the old wiring out and run a single feed for DCC. As the layour grows you can add additional power districts per the instructions of your DCC manufacturer.
