Hello Again; I did some more reading on this last night and what yo say about DCC turn/Switches does make sense I got the impression they are not wired like a normal switch for DC/SC current would be.  I just bought the -Z Command® Digital Command Control System (Non Wireless) since I know nothing about this stuff I am assuming if I have DCC turnouts that I can program this with the buttons on the side of the controller to flick the switch when I need it.  The old timer made sense about having witches on their own box or manual but my guy is only 8 that I am trying to do this for and would find reaching across a 5x10 table a bit problematic plus with multiple trains as a possibility I think it could spell a disaster.  Vid69 mentioned using both can I mix both on the track, so far I have only 3 standard and 1 dcc switch just purchased, I will try to just purchase only the DCC to finish my plan design moving forward.  Should I not open the others and resell them or see if they will cancel the order on those?  Or can I mix for now and replace slowly?  Should I just buy the wireless system?  P.S. Lionel will run on its own system on a second level graduating down around the ON30 level and the trolley will be on its own power source and track system.

To those that answer thanking you in advance!
I am designing an HO system where all the vehicles I have purchased to date are DCC ready.  I was looking at getting the Bchmann Wireless System or the Direct Connect system to control the trains.  A nice forum person explained the DCC should not be used for DC trains due to possible burnout and many lac AC for accessories and will need a other power source!

Here it is I see they have DCC turnouts, what are the advantages and dis advantages of buying those switches over the standard remote switch.  What will I get, consulted a website but it was still to difficult for a novice.  If I buy DCC decoder switches will I have to run wire at all?

I will likely run 2 trains simul at once on this table, a trolley on sep line and a Lionel O scale on a 2nd level circling the lower HO, ON30 scale train.   I know a DC train and AC train should not be ran on a DCC system but can a DCC train be ran on a DC powered system?  If I have standard remote switches do I have to run wiring and stuff to the DCC system or to the sep power source I purchased.

Am I safe to assume that the new ez command is really just a controller for all train activity and you still need a power source for the set itself, or is this the power source?

If I need a power source, anyone have a recommendation (Model Number) on what  power supply or transformer would be best suited to run 2 trains and some light scenery activity, etc.  Must be DC/DCC current for it will be used on ON30 or HO size scale trains... Thanks Mike .

Thank you to you both, I am in fact running it on a seperate system or that is what I planned, just wanted to make sure the cars were still in scale with my lionel set.  I have been looking on e-bay for a controller, many do not tell you if it is AC or DC which poses a problem but iI am close... thanks to you all for yor help. Mike

Thanks for info have any answer for my dc current question in my post?

I am thinking of buying a Trolley ON30 scale

I know it runs on HO size track but is the vehicle true O scale in size?  I have an O Scale Lionel set will this look out of place running next to this set. IF not true O scale is it just slightly smaller and will it look OK?

It says also DC current does that mean I have to buy a special transformer or can I use my 80 watt Lionel transformer? 

Finally, how can you add bell sounds to a trolley if it does not come with it standard?
