Using MTH DCS Remote with Lionel ZW transformer.
Posted by The Godfather on Saturday, June 1, 2024 8:22 AM

You have all probably seen question on these two issues ad nauseam. However here they come. Is it possible to use the MTH DCS remote placed between the ZW and a dedicated track for MTH Proto Sound 2 and 3 engines? MTH says to hook it up to an MTH Transformer. However the instructions on my MTH Subway set list the post war ZW as compatible. A bit conflicting I think. Also due to the slow breaker tripping on ZW's,  I plan on putting circuit protection inline for each of the throttles. What is a good value for fuse or breaker rating? 5 amps, 10 amps? Thanks for your help!
