i am setting up a test track about 10 ft away from my layout on a workbench. Can I attach an additional wire from back of Legacy base to the test track ? Are there any issues with signal going to both test track and layout. I also want to output DCS signal to test track via output side of TIU.Appreciate any advice. Al

I have a test track less than 10 feet away from the two track loops, the signal doesn't make it. However, just running a wire over is all that's required.
Thanks all.I will see if signal makes it, if not I'll run a wire along wall. I am powering test track with a extra Lionel Powerhouse PH-1 , directly connected, I have laying around.Al
Test track up and running. Tested both DCS and Legacy. I decided to run a Legacy wire from base to track. Used telephone com cable and ran DCS output and Legacy signal via three small wires. I suspect the small gauge of wire will be ok as I am moving data not power.
thanks to all
