I am a Lionel amateur to say the least. Mostly for my grandkids, I have collected several basic conventional train sets, a bunch of track and a moderate number of accessories. My power is an older ZW and 2 PH-1 powerhouses. Have decided to add the CAB-1 because of all the young kids, so purchased that and a powermaster PM-1. Three questions. Is the correct method of adding the PM-1 to connect it via the adapter cable to the ZW? Would I have any need for the command base if I don’t add command control locomotives? And, what would be the best way to connect the several accessories to the layout. Appreciate the advice.
