So this might be a painfully easy question but here it goes. So I just purchased my first legacy engine, a cab 1L remote, 1L base, and a mth Z500 Transformer. After reading the instructions I know I have to connect the 1L base to the transformer and the outside rail however the instructions are kinda vague. Do I have the right equipment? I don't want to damage anything. Thanks for the help!
I'm using MTH Realtrax and lock ons as well.

Yes. You are good to go. Connect the terminal on the command base to the common of transformer or the outside raile of the track.
Thanks!

Marty, Have any of you or any folks in in three rail tried this for signal improvement, I know myself for two rail in S it has improved signal reception tremendously, but than I don't know, maybe you don't have the signal problems we deal with. Just curious.

Enhancing TMCC Signal Distribution
for two rail layouts
| Distribution: Distributing the TMCC signal to the tracks on a two rail system is more critical than a three rail system especially on a complex layout with several power feeds and an intricate track plan. Here is a network to distribute the signal to both rails to help keep it balanced so that is not degraded when an engine is turned around on the track. I have done extensive testing on my layout and found this works. Three rail layouts may also benefit from this additional coupling to the center rail too.

R in "S",
I am new to Legacy and learning however your set up looks like it could do no harm and might help signal strength, I definitely want to see Marty & Guns address this set up with their experience.

Yea Dave,I would like to see them weigh in on this also.
