I've ordered my CAB-1L remote/base set and now I need to figure out how to adapt my current conventional power system to run it. Here's what I have:
1) The layout is 5x10 and comprised of two connected loops separated by blocks. One loop is powered by a CW-80 and the other by a 100w MTH brick/Z controller. Each transformer is connected to a terminal strip with feeders running to multiple points on each loop.
2) I have a DCS Remote Commander and receiver which I plan to use since I have one MTH PS-2 locomotive.
Questions:
1) Do I still need the terminal strips and feeder wires or will one wire from power source to track be sufficient for a layout this size?
2) I'm assuming the 100w MTH brick would be preferable since it puts out more watts and I plan to run to trains at once. The brick is limited to 18v output so can I connect it directly to the track using DCS Remote Commander receiver?
