I called Lionel Customer Service today to see if the CAB-1L Base and Remote will work on my layout. I was on hold for a little more than 3 hours before I had to hang up to go somewhere. I am using the MTH DCS Explorer system that puts 15V DC power to the Lionel tubular track. The instructions for the CAB-1L Base says "Any three-rail O-gauge or two-rail S-gauge, alternating current-powered model railroad can become a LEGACY railroad." I am not running any Lionel trains. I just want to be able to operate Lionel command control accessories. The Culvert Loader and Unloader are powered by a separate 18V AC transformer. Doesn't the track just act like an antenna for the CAB-1L Base?
