Well sometimes the mule turns out to be a donkey. I will try one more time. ADCX Rob keeps refering to an instruction page he posted. Appearently he has decided not to read it so I will quote from the first paragraph. "...you may decide to create two isolated blocks of track. Trains in each block are controlled by seperate transformers." The bold indications are mine. Nowhere does it mention any model transformer. Rob's contention is that the triacs will somehow minimise this problem. In fact the reverse may be true. It will be even harder to sync the operation of one output to that of the other thus causing an instanious difference in the output.
I have tried to impart the correct knowledge of the subject. If you wish to take the side of the donkey I cannot stop you and I wish you luck.
Peace be to you.

ps. I apologize to other forum members. I have stretched the decorum of good taste and beg the indulgence of the powers that be. I believe this to be a serious misunderstanding in the proper use of transformers that was started by Lionel for only one instance but has been pushed by some to include cases that can be down right dangerous.
