Hello, I am still very new at all of the o scale train stuff. I have a mth tiu and wiu with a loinel zw250 for track power. I run my trains via an app on my I phone. I know it is weird but my 12 and 13 year old say I’m old and out of date. So to get them interested in the hobby. I put the mth app on an old I phone and they love it. So will older mth locomotives run on this set up? Thank you

Plain ProtoSound is conventional running, it won't run with any phone or command system, strictly transformer control. ProtoSound 2 & ProtoSound 3 are the command versions. You can use a TIU on the variable channels to run the old PS/1 from a remote or phone app.
To clarify, so through the app and tiu, you set up a variable track and can control it that way.
Other option is to switch engines and track wires from fixed to variable back and forth, but may require changing settings in app each time you do this.
No way to run command and non command engines on the same track, that I know of or at least easily...
Thank you guys for the clarification!!!
