@Retired band guy posted:Thanks all! I appreciate your input, but I don’t think I was very clear with my question. I know about the switches (cmd/con, etc.). What I need to know is which wires run where from each component. That’s where I’m stumped.
Well, you have a group of components together I don't (and I think others might say the same thing) that while you can wire together- should VS can are 2 different things.
the 180 brick can be plugged into either the GW180 controller box
OR
Can be used directly with the Legacy powermaster
As grouped, you may have been going through the GW180 controller, into the powermaster, and then to the track. The problem with that is 2 chopping variable devices interacting together to a sum final output. I would believe at part throttle that makes for some ugly power output.
Again, I'm of the thought of use one or the other, but not both.
The Legacy base is simply 1 wire to the outer rail of the track.

@CAPPilot posted:I would recommend the PowerHouse 180 and Legacy PowerMaster with your Cab2. The PH180 has plenty of power for your lashups and has a very quick circuit breaker. You would need one PH180/LPM combo for each loop of track you want to run conventional. Below is how I would set up the circuit.
The PSX-AC is an exceptionally fast circuit breaker (with other capabilities) that I use for extra protection even though the PH180's CB is very good by itself. You could also use a fast acting fuse. I would recommend you add the TVS shown; many on this forum think it is very good protection for your engine electronics.
