@GGG posted:Absolutely you can run an MTH PS-2 or 3 on Lionel power masters and modern ZW. I do. Direction, bell and whistle work fine. What most likely won't work is the added features of conventional firing of couplers, activating PSA and such. The latency of the controller and the lionel transformer make it hard to meet the time response. But since you said that does not matter, you will get all the important features YOU want. G
Thanks GGG,
I would have hoped that Lionel would have attempted to achieve that result with a very recent, sophisticated transformer. I just wasn't sure if PS-3 as currently updated would be operable by the ZW-L.
Given all of the incompatibilities between the systems even as originally introduced, I had just made a decision long ago to stick with Lionel -- not due to any superiority -- just due to familiarity. I've had TMCC since the early days, before Rail Sounds had numerals!
