Yo Guys,
Belated pictures of my Christmas Tree / Carpet Central Layout. I plan on leaving the tree up another 10 days or so but it sure is startingy to dry up and drop some needles. I have the vac nearby to keep the tracks clear. Happy Holidays everybody.

Marty - There are two ways of doing it, the way I have done it, Yes it is very easy.

I power my TIU from aux power, use the fix channels and control the conventional engine by transformer handles. The PS2 engine will only run as fast as avaible votlage. So increase the SMPH of the command to match the speed of the conventional engine.

QUOTE: DCS can run both Conventional and PS2 command at the same time on the same track.


It can be done but easily.

Colin, it is a Lionel. It is a conventional engine. DCS can run both Conventional and PS2 command at the same time on the same track.
