QUOTE: Originally posted by ChiefEagles Welcome to the forum. Guys, wanted you to know that yesterday, I ran two MTH SD90's [4 motors and lights] plus some lights and lighted caboose off of one side of a KW; and two Lionel SD80's [that is 4 more motors, lights smoke units] and lighted caboose off of the other side of the KW. No problems. Since I have now gotten my CAB1, I run my Lionels with it and my MTH's with DCS remote. Well, I went a step further. I ran both MTH's [4 motors & etc] and the two Lionels [4 more motors & etc] on the outer loop which is powered by only one side of the KW. No problems. Was testing to see if I got interference with them within a foot of each other [had seen comments that when they were operated close to each other, problems existed]. No problem at all.
