@breezinup posted:Not sure where you read that the TMCC Lockon only works with command control. It can be used just fine with a ZW, with a Power Adapter Cable. See the Lionel Lockon instructions as shown below. Personally, I'd just use a Lockon with the Power Adaptor Cable and be done with it. The Lockons work great - I've used one for years.
He probably read it because I posted it! Below about 12 volts the TMCC Lockon no longer functions. It really is intended for command operation, hence the name TMCC Direct Lockon!
