I have 250 ft of Fastrack, 20 switches, 25 uncoupler sections. Track power is 180W Powerhouse using a buss. Control is TMCC Cab1 and 990 Cab2 and 3 LionChief. I might Add a second Cab 2. I don't anticipate more than 4 Locos running at any one time. I am in the process of adding a second buss to power the switches and I was going to use 1 of my 2 CW80s to provide the power. I see a warning on my auxiliary power instructions for the uncouplers not to use the CW 80 accessory terminals. This leads to several questions.

Do I need to use one CW80 accessory terminals for my switch buss and the second CW80 at 12V for second buss for the uncouplers? Could I do this just using one CW80 and both sets of terminals?
