Multi level Legacy control & wiring

Pine Creek RailroadOGR Forum Member

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Being new to Legacy the more I read the more questions I am having. I want to run my 1st level with both Legacy & DCS, however I want to use my 2nd level as a Legacy Controlled situation only. Both levels will have FT Command Control switches. I am planning to use my Z4K to power the 1st level, and an old ZW to power my 2nd Level Legacy only tracks. Can I split the Legacy signal wire to run both levels at the same time, and be able to run Legacy & DCS along with Conventional engines on the 1st level with the DCS handheld remote control, and use the Legacy Cab2 and Legacy Powermater to run Legacy & Conventional engines on the 2nd level. Can I use an MTH terminal block to split the wire coming off the back of the Legacy Base unit, to run

both track levels, and be able to use both the Legacy & DCS hand held remote controls at the same time. Or will splitting the Legacy base wire for 2 different track levels cause signal problems with the legacy.
