O scale wiring MTH and Lionel Legacy together
Posted by 64ss283 on Tuesday, April 12, 2011 10:39 PM

Hello

I am building a O Scale club layout and wondering how i wire this. I have MTH scale trax track and i am using the DCS system. I am planning to buy the Lionel legacy system and wondering how i can wire them for use on the same track. I no that the MTH DCS system uses the center rail for power and the outer rails for the ground, i have heard that the legacy uses the outer rail as power but  not sure about that. Please if you have any knowledge on this your help will be appreciated.

Thank you

Brent

You might want to direct your question over at the Classic Toy Trains forums.  They should be able to help you.  The members on this forum are mostly HO and N scale.

Hi Brent, as mentioned, the Classic Toy Train forum on this site could be more helpful. You may also try http://ogaugerr.infopop.cc/eve/forums

They (ogaugerr) have both DCS and TMCC/Legacy forums with beta testers as posters who are very knowledgable. And by the way, what you will need to do is not really that bad. Post your question and I'm sure you'll get some help.
