Hello All

Just joined the forum, so just want to say great to be here!

I have an existing Lionel Legacy LCS system running my layout, so track power, switches, accessories, blocks etc. are all done.

I would like to add MTH DCS to my layout to run MTH trains only and just use the MTH remote to run MTH trains, not legacy trains.

That being said, does anyone have a simple hookup for this?

Thanks! and I appreciate any Ideas.

Chazzz

I think you should just try to hook it up without changing anything, on the wiring that is. Remove any TMCC/Legacy equipment from the powered rails for the test. Just test with only the MTH engines getting power. Than add things one at a time while testing. Certain pieces can be a culprit of signal squashing.

 I've read posts about it working without major changes. Sometimes you have to physically unplug the Lionel base, or remove the wire. I think that happens more often in 2 rail. You may not have perfect signal and can work to make it better if needed.

 I too suggest Barry's book for better understanding of the system's capabilities.
