LionChief get's it's commands wirelessly and ProtoSound gets from a signal sent through the track, right?

So, I would need either a MTH Z-1000 (just the brick, without controller) or Lionel PH-135, plugged into a DCS Remote Commander, and then hardwire that into my Fastrack.  Right?

Anyone know if the PH-135 will plug directly into the DCS Commander directly?  Or are plug adapters needed?

Also, I (might) vaguely remember reading, or seeing a YouTube video, where Lionel (???) stated you needed to run the PowerHouse with the TMCC Lock On house thingy - for the short circuit protection - or something???

Yes, to run LionChief, just put the power to the track. The Z-1000 (brick only) is plug and play with the DCS Remote Commander. The PH-135 is not. You would need to swap the plug.

The TMCC Lock-on is "nice" but not mandatory. You probably do want to include a MTH 50-1014 12 Port Terminal Block. As I mentioned earlier, it's a good idea to plan for one track feeder for every 6 track joints.
