Thank you Chris and Steve. I had not heard of the MTH Z1000, so i will check it out. But if that would be enough power for both of our Trains on the track , it seems like the way to go. The Lionel Chief Plus came with a remote that controls all of the features. From what i have read , we would just turn on the transformer , put the power handle up and use the remotes for the rest. Can you add multiple Transformers for additional power if ever needed ? Again rookie question. I live in Upstate Steve in Ilion,NY ( near Utica). I see your on the Island.

Welcome to the family!

Theres a few of us from the Utica area. I’m from New Hartford, my parents are from Utica and I live in Rome.

I’m also a member of the O Gauge Club that JR Junction mentioned above, and would love to meet you at our open house! JRJ is second to none, and has all of the above in stock, and so, so much more!

thanks!
