The connections are clearly marked on the back of the transformer. The commons all have black screw connectors and the hots all have red screw connectors. On the back of the Z-4000 there are four outputs, not unlike the Lionel ZW transformer. The two outer sets are variable voltage run by the levers. The inner two sets are 14V and 10V constant sources. As for needing aux wiring, I think you’re right. I hooked up my MTH DCS Explorer and it provides constant 18V to the track. The engine is run via an app on my iPhone. So I think I can just replace the black Lionel remote with the setup we’ve been discussing here and everything should work fine. With the app, I can stop and start the engine and power is maintained to the track no matter what the engine is doing.
