Somebody send me your email addy and I'll send the diagram to you. I can't send it because it won't let me do it.This is a really good diagram about wireing DC and DCC on the same track using a DTDP switch.MY email is ulrich@rushmore.com

The first diagram you show is exactly like the one I found.This thread is almost coming to an end. Thanks for all the replies and the interest everyone showed.

I don't know how to put a link on this forum.I do know how to do it if I had your email addy.I could send it to your email and you can post it here if you know how.It took me awhile to find it, but it looks pretty clear on how to do it.

I was just surfing the internet and found the perfect site for my question.It explains perfectly what I need to do to run DC and shut it off and then run DCC.Only one question remains.My power pack has Cab A and cab B, it did not show how to wire these separate so both DC trains don't run at the...

It's not wired at all yet. I have been laying track, with sideings. I have two sets of track because I want to run two trains at once weather it be DC or DCC.I know how to wire each, but need to know how to cut power off to one while I use the other.

The trailer hook ups look like they would work good for DC.Show me more where the power is connected.Show me where the wires are fed to the power pack for DC and what you would do to connect them to DCC.I think your getting somewhere with this.

So, I would be plugging these in and out everytime I need to run which ever train?

Will it work tho if a guy used labels and was real cautious of what he was doing?

Why don't I use two multiple outlet strips. One for DC and one for DCC.Turn one on and turn it off when you want to run the other one?

Two wire socket????????Two wire plug???????? If I knew what these we're I would be in bussiness.Woodone, would you happen to have a step by step procedure?Sounds good, could ya give me some more info how to do this and where to get the supplies?

All I want to do is to be able to shut power off to the DC when I run the DCC locos. Then if I run the DC locos I can shut power off to the DCC. I would never dream of running them at the same time.Anybody have a real good diagram for me?????

That makes more sense to have two of them. Can anyone provide a diagram? A DPDT swith for the DC and one for the DCC?

So, If I have a power pack that runs two DC locomotives,how do you run them wires?Cab A and Cab B.Can I use the same feeder wiress for DC and DCC?

I have a nice layout which is 3x7 and sometimes I will run DC and sometimes DCC.If anybody's an artist, I would like to see how to wire a DPDT switch so I can run DC or DCC.I need something real clear.

I am so sorry about your loss and my thoughts and prayers are a with you and your wife. I lost my wife when she was 27 yrs. old to cancer and it hurts so bad when it is someone close to our hearts. My wife and I pray for you and yours. Henry and Vicky.
