I've seen several threads talking about how to wire for DCC, but none that talk about supporting 'dual mode' operation, or at least allowing a gradual transition. I'm planning to start construction of a layout soon, and don't plan to incorporate DCC initially (the budget just won't support it). Plus, I already have all the selectons/controllers/etc. I need salvaged from an earlier layout. Is there something I can do during initial construction to have the layout pre-wired for an eventual move to DCC, to make that transition easier when it comes? Will it be possible to run both DCC-equipped and non-DCC equipment on the layout during the transition phase until all equipment is DCC-enabled? Mike
