Lash up MTH PS3 & Lionel TMCC

While you won't blow anything up, the chances of success are very small, think about .02%.   The speed curves of any PS/3 and TMCC engines would be far different, so the likelihood of them running together is very remote.  I don't even know if the DCS remote would allow you to configure this, but I'd be surprised if it did.

Yeah I was thinking that too.

Thanks GRG!

Try the ALL command on DCS remote, I don't think the speed will be the same. If it works at all

Is it possible using DCS to create a lash up using a MTH PS3 engine and a TMCC engine? I've got a MTH PS3 A unit I'd like to lash up with a TMCC B unit.

I've got both DSC and CAB1 setup.

I thought I'd ask the question before I tried in case of the possibility of blowing something up LOL.

This maybe a dumb question but is the Lionel TMCC B unit powered? If it is not go ahead and put it behind the MTH A unit. Run the A unit using DCS and then use the TMCC to uncouple the rear coupler if it an operating coupler. Most B units have dummy couplers on both ends if your B unit does too then uncoupling from the train is not an option. You can use the CAB-1 to control the smoke output. If the B unit is powered I would not recommend trying to create a lash up. You can always put the B unit on the Sell/Trade board and use the money to buy a MTH B unit. Good luck!

Obviously, you can run them together if only the DCS locomotive is powered.
