No problem running dcs and lionchief+ On the same track. The imperial MTH steam engines are a step above Lionchief + locomotives. The diesels are way above Lionel's LC+ diesels.

Can I get a clarification / confirmation on this about running an MTH & LC+ engine on the same track at the same time? I'm not sure this is correct. According to this post on a thread from last year by Barry B. (RIP) in answer to a somewhat related question,

"You'd connect the DCS Explorer up in addition to your Lionel devices, however, you'd have to disconnect your existing transformers and only get track power via the DCS Explorer.

The DCS Explorer is really not intended to be added to a layout, rather, it's intended to be the power and control for the layout."

LC+ requires a constant18 volts applied to the track. Does the DCS Explorer do that or does the DCS Explorer vary the voltage to the track?
