Connect the 2 Power Power Outputs from the Z4000 to the two TIU Variable Channel Inputs.

Connect the 2 TIU Variable Channel Outputs to your Track. (Assuming you have two different loops or blocks...)

Connect the U wire from the Legacy Base to the Outside rail of both loops.

You will not need the TPC300 in this configuration. The TIU can control the variable voltage on the tracks.

Use the Legacy Remote to Control Legacy and TMCC engines.

Use the DCS Remote to Control MTH DCS and Conventional Engines.

Its that simple.

I'm scanning through the messages here since I am getting the MTH system. One thing confuses me.

Why are you using the variable outputs from the TIU? Since they're all command, why would you not be using the fixed outputs?
