Short answer : No
Dear DL,
If I understand what you're asking:
- the layout trackwork is seperated into electrically-isolated blocks
- there are seperate track busses for analog and DCC
- and each block has a "selector switch" which connects it to either the analog or the DCC track buss,
(and thus makes it either "analog controlled" or "DCC controlled" as required)
Does that cover the situation?
If yes, and the question is
"can I switch individual blocks between the 2 control systems during realtime operations?",
the answer is...
"...No, Don't Do That..."
While technically it's possible,
the risk of a loco or car-with-lights/similar "accidentally" crossing between a "Analog block" and a "DCC block",
and thus very-likely damaging one or both control systems,
is waaaaaaay too high, and the resulting $$$ is not worth the risk.
There are no workarounds for this issue,
at least, not without adding serious levels of added complexity and cost which,
let's be honest,
could probably be better spent investing in decoders to make the full-blown switch to DCC (and avoiding the issue completely).
Of course, if $$$ is an issue, you could go the other way,
rip all decoders out of your existing DCC fleet, and migrate back to analog.
(It's the cheapest solution, at the risk of severely limiting many attractive capabilities of DCC)
If you must run a mix of analog and DCC locomotives via some "switchable control system",
I'd respectfully suggest you:
- avoid DCC-specific items such as automatic polarity-reversing units
- wire up all frog-switching and similar situations with turnout-throw-activated micro-switches or other Traction Control Agnostic solutions
(IE physically throw the turnout position, and the microswitch is triggered in consequence.
There is no need for physically eperate "turnout control" and "frog/block polarity" switch controls!)
- Wire up a single "track buss" that feeds all active trackage
- Equip your analog throttle with a quick-disconnect plug of some description
- Equip your DCC system with the same type of plug
- Equip the Track Buss with a matching socket
and literally plug-in the control system you want to use into the layout at the appropriate time.
(making sure that all locos of "the other type" are either parked on elevctrically-isolated-trackage, or removed from the layout at the time).
By doing this, you are powering the entire layout with a single common control system at any given moment,
(IE no risk of crossing over block-gaps/bondaries and frying "the other control system"),
and making your under-layout wiring a lot simpler.
Beyond a full-blown conversion one way or t'other,
(motor-only decoders can be had for under US$20,
and many "current era" locos are "plug n play" conversions),
the only other "mid-way" solution I can think of is to ensure that all of your DCC locos have "analog mode" capability and have it enabled. (Check your loco or decoder documentation).
This will allow your "DCC-equipped locos" to be operated on Analog track, but negates almost all of the benefits of DCC in the process. ("Analog Mode" is also know to be a source of "runaway train" behaviour when running on a DCC system with questionable wheel<> track contact. Most "committed DCC users" disable "Analog Mode" to eliminate "oddball" operation).
Happy Modelling,
