@Tman129 posted:Just wanted to be sure I'm setting things up right, Lionels YouTube videos are out of date.
I recently acquired a PowerMaster (637146), and legacy Cab1L set for use with my Post War ZW. These purchases were with the intent of running PW Lionel, control of Command Control switches, and future Legacy equipment. It appears I select the 180W setting on the PowerMaster and, while the following video is using TMCC Cab 1 & Legacy, it would appear I connect as identified from 5:30 to 7:06 in the following vide.
(1) Lionel Powermaster Instructional Video - Bing video
If someone could please confirm my understanding or provide corrections, it would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help. - Tony
Tony, I'm new to Legacy/TMCC. So please take this with grain of salt. I also have a PW ZW and 135/180 Powermaster, but instead with the Cab 2. It's my understanding that the power connections and antenna connections are the same for the Cab 1L and Cab 2 and as mentioned by Mike in the video you're referencing.
Are you also using the 6-12893 Power Adapter Cable between your ZW and the Powermaster? If so,
Power Adapter Cable Fused lead to ZW Hot (A,B,C, or D), the other PAC lead to Common (U)
Cab1L Base U to any U connection, and all U connections are connected together (preferably with only one common wire between each device) and to the Outer track rails.
I'm replying mainly so that your post gets elevated back to the top of the Recent Posts. Hopefully someone else will either confirm or deny.
