I have reviewed Mick’s video several time. I realize that transformers’ need to be phased. He doesn’t explain how to phase powerhouses. They aren’t built like a transformer. So I ask again how are Lionel Powerhouses phased? Do the powerhouse come from the factory already phased or do you need to some type adapter to phase them.
Right now I set up a temporary layout on my garage floor with 3 powerhouses and 3 TPCs. I can only plug them into the power strip one way as the plugs are polarized. I know there were some early powerhouses that Lionel had that were out of phased and they had the proper plug to phase those correctly. I am using 2 - 135 watt and 1- 180 watt powerhouses with zero issues.
