One last point of clarification… I had read somewhere that I also need a “command base”. if I understand correctly, the Legacy module is the command base and that’s what sends the control signals to the via a direct connection to the track.
Yup, the Legacy base is your command base. Its single wire output should be connected to the common post on each of your transformers that will power track/trains. The Legacy base and ZW-L make this easy - both have a port for a speaker style banana plug, so you just have to make one connection to get the command signal to everything the ZW-L powers. I have about a 12" length of 16 gauge wire with these banana plugs on each end that I use to connect my Legacy base output to the ZW-L command input. I've attached a couple photos for your reference - you want to connect the "U" port on the Legacy base to the "BASE" port on the ZW-L.
