Are these running on AC using the DCS system?

Wonder if the little remote commander will control them too?

Sam,

 

If you use the TIU to controll MTH HO you need to use a DC power supply through the fixed channels. The TIU does not modulate the power like a DCC system. What you put into the TIU is what comes out. You can put a rectifier on the out put of the TIU if you want to use AC power (I haven't tried this but don't see why it wouldn't work). On my test bench I have a Crest power supply but I also have used the MRC Tech 4 260. If your only going to run one line that should do you for power.

 

I really like the HO from MTH they're great all around.
