Iwill not be running modern in conventional. I do like to run conventional locos from time to time and when I run a modern conventional engine such as williams ( with can motor) the 5 volt start speed is about 25 scale mph. i AM NOW SPOILED WITH DCS and want to start with 0 volts so these engine won't jack rabbit. Therefore, using my second gen ZW with built in power master- 180 bricks and legacy or tmcc I can start at a more realistic speed. I have TMCC,Proto 2, Proto 1 engines as well as conventional. The Proto 2 are my favorite therefore DCS is a must. Thus my decision to set TIU in passive. Have not tried it yet but will try to hook it up this weekend. M any of you have much more experience in this than I do so I am asking do you see any problems with this arrangement? again thanks for the input.
