A few more newbie questions..
Posted by Tony W on Monday, September 17, 2018 10:29 PM

1. What is the canle called that goes from the terminal track to the back of a transformer. The one with two spade  shaped ends? I a, using fasttrack.

2. If I hook a transformer up to my fasttrack will I be able to tun both legacy and RX ready to run trains?

 

thanks in advance

1 - There is no technical term for the wire to the transformer other than calling it the power wire.

2 - If you use a regular transformer to run Legacy, set the transformer to 18 volts and use the remote to operate the Legacy trains.

Not sure what you mean by "RX ready to run trains". If you mean non-remote controlled trains (called "conventional"), then you cannot run Legacy and conventionally controlled trains at the same time. You would be able to run Legacy and conventional trains with the same transformer, but at different times.
