Remaking of the Ridley Keystone & Mountain

[tompm]

Tom:
One warning. You must never let the DC and DCC meet. If you have one DC block and one DCC block and run a train between them, you can cook at least one of your power packs. Put the whole layout on one system or the other.

Also, your DCC auto-reversers will not do the job for DC.

I think that for switching between them, hefty DPDT switches would work. I'd look for automotive quality with a center-off. At least 5 amp rating.

David, my intention is to go with the layout running all DC or all DCC, never a mix.

Thanks for the suggestion on the rating for the switch. With my limited knowledge of things electrical the amp rating was something I was worrying about.
