I just tried hooking up my 180 watt brick and Lionel Legacy 990 directly to my track without going through my TPC in order to try to isolate a problem with a new engine (see New Lionel E8 Problems thread). I was able to run the train, blow the whistle, etc., but the red Halt button no longer worked and Aux 0 no longer shut off track power. I’m just curious, can anyone explain why that would be?
