DCS question for my Christmas Layout

RailrunninRailrunninOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

1000005683Good Sunday afternoon all. Please excuse the naivete of this question as it has been awhile since I've wired anything up.

My Christmas layout has one outside loop of lighted Lionel fastrack and two independent loops of o tubular on each side of where the tree will be placed.

My question is this: I have the outer loop on DCS via fixed 1. Can I run another set of wires from the same TIU output to the small oval on the left side of the picture to enable another MTH DCS engine on that small loop? Wiring is not my forte and any input is appreciated.

The small oval on the right side is powered by the other handle on the Z4000.

Thank you. Paul1000005682

Three separate channels would make trouble shooting easier.  On the other hand, these are small loops, I think you could use either method.

Meaning if you decide to put them them all on one output and if you end up having issues you could disconnect the tracks one by one or you can always switch to 3 separate channels if needed.
