Reply to "2 transformers on same track"

I have wondered the same thing as 842.  I understand the comments made by Susan, Anthony, and Nicole.  I have heard Marty's (not recommended) and gunrunnerjohn's

(probably not a good idea) from other people before.  However, when I asked a friend

who is an electrician (but not a model train operator) he said it should work if you could

connect the throttles with some type of bar the would keep voltage levels the same, of course they would have to be identical units, for example two cw-80s.  As you throttle up or down the bar would advance or reduce voltage the same for each unit.  I've not yet

been willing to risk engines or transformers to try this, but is there a specific reason why

this would or would not work.

 

Thanks in advance for any input,
