I bought a lionel lockon and hook up another 180 brick but it just throw the breaker.i know its wire correctly.

The Lionel TMCC Direct Lockon handles a MAXIMUM of 10 amps, so that's really not doing anything for you.  You really need the Legacy PowerMaster 360 or a TPC-300/400 to have more than 10 amps on the track with dual transformers.

That being said, I strongly recommend you consider revising your running plan so you don't need all that power, when you get 20-30 amps on the track, a derailment can turn into a welding party, and your train is a participant!  I can tell you from first hand experience that the breakers on multiple ganged transformers don't always trip as you'd expect.

I personally won't run on a layout with more than 10A on a power district.
