Thanks Stan, sorry I didn't include more in the post as I was posting from my phone. A couple additional comments:
- Am running the layout on an old lionel ZW. Need to get the whistle rectifier upgraded but appears everything else is in working order.
- Running Lionel tubular track
- Trolley line is an out and back, it is about 16 feet long, and uses 2 trestle sets to run up and over the mainline for the rest of the track.
- Will be running a Lionel 060 trolley that my nephew is getting for Christmas, and a 6-8690 that my grandfather bought me 20 years ago.
I'll read through the other thread and see where I can go. I'm not at all afraid of wiring and trying things. I spend most my days working on DC systems on Agricultural equipment, but for some reason AC really throws me for a loop doing these things because I'm not as familiar with the components.
