Each block has a DPDT switch and I feed one side of the switch from the DC transformer and one from my DCC transformer. Each block is separated by insulators. I’m able to run DC engines on one loop and DCC on the other. My reverse loop is wired for DCC or as the programing track for DCC.
This system worked great until I added block detectors to the wiring. Now the DC doesn’t want to work through the block detector.
