Reply to "Lionel ZW Controller and Powerhouse needs constant reset"

You mentioned something about a command base? When the base is on the b and c output will come up on to the level you have set. If at zero when moved they will work as normal. The a and D outputs will come up off. The movement of the handles will give output on those post.  In command mode there are basically 4 power masters inside the transformer.

You must address the outputs...tr 1 etc. out of the box they are 1-4. Once adrressed you can turn up the power to the max point that you have the handles set...

Thanks for the information; but I didn't experience what your getting at. We first connected the two separate loops; 1 to A and 1 to D and then connected the command base to common. When we powered up we had TMCC control on both tracks with out a problem. When the problem arose out of thin air; A & D were dead and B & C were normal. We moved the track connections to B & C, the TMCC didn't care . We ran that way for two weeks without a problem. Then Lionel said to reset the ZW. A & D came alive for one run; but when the handles were turned off and then on again, they were once again dead.
