I just check the DCS Wifi Edition 2 and it does contain the Explorer. My Mistake. That is the one to get but I will still suggest getting both.
Curtis, it is still not crystal clear to me what I need to do to run conventional Postwar and MTH Proto 1 engines on my layout with the DCS Remote Control Set #50-1001 and/or DCS Explorer #50-1035 hooked up to my Z4000 transformers and layout.
I now know from your above post that I should not touch my Z4000 throttle handle(s) when running a Postwar or Proto 1 engine on that portion of my layout hooked up to the TIU fixed voltage channels. When running the Postwar or Proto 1 engine there, I have to keep the voltage of the track at 18 volts at all times.
Based on the information I have supplied on this thread, what else should I buy, if anything, and what should I do, so I can run Postwar and MTH Proto 1 engines as well as MTH Proto 2 and 3 engines, on my layout in which the trackwork is not perfect and has small voltage drops at several places?
By the way, my mildly defective trackwork is not a problem at all when running LC+ and LC+2.0, and hardly any problem when running MTH Proto 2 and 3. I simply set my Z4000 throttles at 17 or 18 volts, and the locomotive hardly slows down at all anywhere on my layout. I mention this because I suspect that, although some of us have perfect, or close to perfect, trackwork and wiring, most of us on this Forum do not, like me. Arnold
