I was thinking that you were aligning an additional DC loco to you DCC system, I have done the track polarity change myself. I have a DCC loco that is cab forward on dcc but reverse on DC. and it is staying that way,On our exhibition layout,I set it up with another loco,each with 3 or 4 passenger cars.,at a station ,back to back on the same line and set them going,the system is DC and they can pass on a loop.First one back has to go onto a 2nd platform, or it's a Head-on,!All good stuff.
