How to phase 1033 transformer with Powermax

standard1033

I believe that I've read everything there is about the 1033 transformer and how it has an unusual setup with posts U and A going to track power. But is there any way to get a modern Lionel Powermax transformer to work as an auxiliary power supply?

I've tried to phase the two using every possible combination of wires between the U and A posts of the 1033 and the A/U posts on the Powermax. No matter what I do, I get a flashing green light from the Powermax. I've reversed the polarities of one of the plugs but that doesn't help. Is it at all possible to get these two to play nice together? I need the common ground on the outside rail to work to create insulated block sections.
