Reply to "BPC HELP"

You have it correct on the how to address and set tpc's to each track block.

once you have the bpc and tpc's setup as you want both retain the settings so no more need to reset them.

only thing is when first powered up you have to address each tpc' and set to L for command or M for conventional operation but the bpc's will send power to tracks same as last time you used them.

now you can if you need to for some reason turn off each track by  pushing accessory then track number you wish to turn off then aux 1 then push the zero on keypad that will turn power off to that track only other 3 will still be powered

from command base connect a db-9 into the base the other end of red and green wires connect to dat and com on the tpc from there to the bpc day and com also bpc needs a separate power source connected to it. on page 3 of Lionel's bpc manual it tells how to hook it up and continues on page 4.

the manual for the tpc 300 my bpc's are not Lionel's mine are from the person whom originally created the tpc's anyways  my manual on page 9 talks of making your own db-9 connector and wired connected to correct pins  basically pin 5 is where green wire is soldered to and pin 2 is where the red wire connects to that's all it is. or you can by one from Lionel I think .

I added the 2 pages I refer to on the bpc and tpc hope I helped you get things working. next piece of advice once you get the hang of of setting it up write yourself a how to so at a later date a year or more you have a written example that makes sense to you on how to do this again and if by chance you decide to buy some mth engines be they ps1 ps2 there is a page in to manual that tells you how to run them using the tpc's you now have you  can run as conventional engines it cannot run them in command mode for that you need the full dcs command setup .
