Mike Miller, HHarvey, I run conventional lionel and mth on my variable tracks all the time while running ps2/3 engines on the other loops, powered solely by one of the fixed or remaining variable dcs output (you have 2 fixed and 2 variable per tiu). As long as the line running the conventional engines is fed by a variable output, you will have no problems. The dcs system is a breeze to control the voltage on the variable lines and run conventional trains, while also operating ps2/3 engines on separate lines fed by the other outputs. Some guys try to run ps2 or 3 locos on the same variable track along with conventional. This has never worked well for me as the command engines require too much voltage and the conventional engines run too fast when on the same track.
