Running two trains conventional and Lionchief

Hello, I am a new member to this forum and I have a newbie question about running two trains on my existing 6x11’ Lionel O27 layout. The entire layout is O27 tubular track with several O27 remote switches and I have installed blocks to isolate the various loops in my setup. I’m not inclined to replace my track with Fast track at this stage due to the amount of work and expense involved. I’m driving all of it with an old but trusty ZW transformer. Most of my stock is post war, 50-60s vintage and I have two conventional locomotives, purchased new in the 90s-00s (pre command control).

I have been reading about the newer locomotives with Lionchief 2.0 plus. My question is, would it be possible to run one conventional locomotive by setting the ZW lever to a fixed voltage (12-15v), AND running a second (to be purchased) Lionchief locomotive, attenuating the latter with the remote? Is this at all possible?  Thanks
