I'm confused about the grounding issue. I normally tie the Super-Chuffer ground (pin-2) to frame ground, and when I use the Chuff-Generator, I return all three wires to the Super-Chuffer. That insures there is only one common ground, and that's never been a problem with a ton of installations. I will say that the proper ground is KEY to proper operation of these products, or almost any electronics in your trains. I do know that the Chuff-Generator is somewhat picky about the ground being good, if you have a floating ground and connect power and the chuff signal, it can take out the output port on the C-G processor. The Super-Chuffer is normally fairly robust, it takes quite a bit to fry them as a rule.
