Dynamis and streetcar

Hi
I have an HO set controlled by a Dynamis DCC and now I'm adding a Bachmann DCC controlled streetcar which I plan to run over a separate truck (I hope a Luna one). Can I control the streetcar with the same dynamis? Do i have to connect both circuits through a crossing track, for instance? Is it possible to operate the streetcar in the background, in a reversing mode? How can I do it? thanks in advance

Dear Ridom,
You can operate both; simply assign the streetcar it's own address. It might be easiest to get a reversing Village Streetcar set to run a reversing track- your Peter Witt will operate on analog.
Have fun!

Thanks Bachmann for the prompt answer, but I still have some doubts. To operate the Peter Witt through the Dynamis, will I need to interconnect both circuits (the streetcar's and the railroad's) or not?

And second, if I decide to go with the Village streetcar option, does it allow me to do stops in the middle? and, is there any way of adding curves with a radius lower than the typical 18 or 15?

many thanks

Dear Ridom,
You cannot connect the analog streetcar track with the DCC main track!
Split-Jaw Rail Clamps makes a circuit with intermediate stops.
Have fun!
