….but did not affect the DCS signal. The Signal only went to out of range on the DCS remotes when I plugged in the TMCC base.

You mean like this? (sorry for the ugly nasty voice! )

I mention the "brick" causing the issue and I meant to say the Lionel TMCC base. Carl Tuveson gave me some tips like moving the base to the farthest point away from the DCS system. It made it better but after a few years I forgot about the tip and moved the base right near the layout control area. Because I only have a few TMCC engines I chose not to run them at the same time with my MTH PS engines. I also wanted to run the TMCC engines by installing a wire near the tracks to carry the signal and not connected to the rails.
