Gentlemen,
One further word of note for the men using a single new type transformer that is phased opposite of all your older ZW's and KW's. Find an old style plug adaptor, these old adaptors are usually red in color, they have equal sized adaptor plug blades, plug the newer transformer into the adaptor, mark the adaptor and the plug from the newer Transformer with permanent magic marker, for ident purposes. Then simply turn the adaptor with the new style plug in it, around when you plug it into the wall or multi plug. Your new style transformer is now in phase with your older Transformers, no cord alteration required.
Wally,
When setting up numerous Blocks for DCS using more than one transformer determines how far you can expand your layout. I have numerous Z4K's, old ZW's and KW's all in Phase. The Transformers old or new must be in phase to run using the block engineering. The amount of track you are using usually determines how much power you need thru out your full layout. DCS runs great with 18V, thru out the entire layout, so does Legacy.
