I am dong some planning for my future layout and thinking about controlling (on/off) my Menard's buildings using the MTH AIU.
I'm thinking this is possible, but rather than connecting the power wires to the AIU, I should connect them to a separate power supply (like a Lionel CW-080 transformer).
I would then use the AIU to turn all the building's light on and off at the same time.
Has anyone done this? Is this even possible?
From reading the AUI manual, it looks like I could.
Thanks!
