Reply to "Wiring MTH DCS to operate conventional trains"

Is there a reason that the conventional power using a different transformer cannot be fed directly to the track even though the TIU is powered up in order to operate switches and sidings power relays through the AIU? The reason I ask is i'm not a fan of conventional operation through the TIU using the wifi interface as it seems to have a delay adjusting power.

I have two post war ZW transformers, one for conventional and one for command. They are physically separated from each other by switches even though they are phased correctly. The connection for the conventional would be at the track section busses where the star wiring is for the command operation. I don't see why this would hurt the TIU as it is pretty much the same as running "passive TIU mode".
