I have a floor based Christmas set up of two SEPARATE loops surrounding the tree.  The outer loop is 10x4 and inner loop 8x3. Both are controlled by DCS/WIFI with power to largest loop from Z-1000 brick powering TIU Fixed 1 and power to second loop from separate Z-1000 brick using a DCS Explorer.  I want to connect the second loop directly to the TIU Fixed 2 using the separate Z-1000 and remove the DCS Explorer.  Please advise how I can do this and have control over both trains using my iPhone as the controller.  I am picking up a wall wart and will power the TIU separately.  I am familiar with my DCS having run trains using my phone, however I have never run more than one train other than a lash up on the same track.  My track is not large enough to run trains on the same track.  I just want to simplify things.

Just connect the second channel through the transformer to the second loop, you will automagically have control of both of them using the WiFi and your iPhone.  Don't make this more complicated than it is.

I run my whole layout, around 500 feet of track, from one TIU using all four channels and four 180W bricks.  It's all seamless with a single TIU, it's only when you get into multiple TIU's that things get more complicated.
