I have finally completed the track layout on my layout now. I am in the process of planning the accessories and wanted to know the best option for adding power for the accessories. I am running legacy and have the legacy power master and 180 watt powerhouse for the track. Any help would be appreciated.

Variable voltage for accessories is the most flexible because many accessories work better with a selected as necessary voltage. So a couple CW80s or equivalent would do well.
Older, refurbished Lionel transformers with multiple outputs can also work well. The KW has four outputs - two fixed and two adjustable, but there are others, too.
Can you use a power master power supply

What would the wiring look like if i used 2 CW80's?
Look for something like an older ZW or VW, you get four variable outputs. The postwar Type-V and Type Z will also give you four variable outputs. Each output should have circuit protection, a fuse or modern circuit breaker.
