If i understand you correctly, the common rail is the entire railroad? If so, you have no way to separate the dcc from the dc. I originally had a had a Atlas master system and everytime i just switched from DC to dcc i had to reset the controller. I would not recommend trying to run both at the same time, even if you had each block totally isolated from the other. Having blocks to test for electrical problems is a good idea if you have large areas that you are trying to isolate a problem in. Depends upon the size of the railroad.
