Question:
 
I am using a CRE-55401 10 amp train power controller in conjunction with the CRE-55460 to power my train track. I intended to use the controller to power the Aristo switches (ART-11205 series) but the instructions for the switches contains a NOTE as follows:  Do not attempt to operate on DC unless proper diodes ( 2 pcs 1N4001) are used. I was led to believe that the controller had AC for accessories but the label states "fixed DC output". 
 
The question is; do I need the diodes in each line to the swithches?
